I could not do anything I wanted to. If I had to walk a distance I would fret over how I was going to get from point A to point B. I started at 245 lbs, which to some that does not sound like much but I am only 5 feet tall. I knew if I didn&#8217;t do something I would not live a very long or very productive, happy life. I was on Cholestrol meds, blood pressure meds and was on my way to being a diabetic.<\/p><p>I went online and found JoAnne and BeliteWeight. This was the best decision I have ever made. Everything went smoothly from the day I signed on til today. I know that they are always there if I have any questions. And believe me I used the phone plenty in the beginning. I didn&#8217;t know what to expect or what was happening to my body after surgery. They were always there and answered every question I had.<\/p><p>Surgery&#8230;.wonderful.. if you could use that word to explain surgery. From transportation to the staff and the aftercare, everything went smoothly.<\/p><p>Have I reached my goal?&#8230;.No&#8230; Am I discourged&#8230;.a big No! I love my gastric sleeve and I know it will come off eventually. I am just a slow loser, but I am a loser! I have had such wonderful mini goals. The first time I could sit in a booth (which I avoided with a passion), wearing tie shoes, or getting on a plane and not asking for an extension belt. Boy I felt like cheering! Little goals but they meant so much in this wonderful journey.<\/p><p>I have been given a new lease on life and it is all thanks to Joanne and BeliteWeight. Hopefully the next time I send Joanne an update it will be when I am at goal.<\/p><p>Oh, by the way I have lost 85 lbs to date.* Doing the happy dance now&#8230;well at least I can dance now.<\/p><p>Thanks JoAnne and all your staff. You have literally saved my life!<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 16px;\"><span style=\"font-family: tahoma,geneva,sans-serif;\">If you have any questions about the Gastric <a href=\"https:\/\/www.beliteweight.com\/weight-loss-surgery-procedures\/gastric-sleeve-surgery\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Sleeve<\/a> please <a href=\"https:\/\/www.beliteweight.com\/contactus\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">contact<\/a> BeLiteWeight today!<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; One year ago I reached rock bottom.
