Next week will mark 3 years since I\u2019ve had surgery with Dr.Rodriguez. What a roller coaster this ride has been. From learning to portion control, learning new habits, learning to love the gym , it has honestly been learning how to live again. &gt;&gt;&gt;&gt; We all these changes came self love I never knew I had . Confidence to follow my dreams and the well power to keep going. I have been able to maintain an average of 105lbs lost and have gained about 15 safely . I have had a breast reduction with a lift and I am currently recovering from a tummy Tuck with lipo of the back and flanks. I feel great . Life is great. The work is never done that\u2019s for sure . We will forever gain and loose and fluctuate. What\u2019s important is the healthy habits I have been able to maintain and the structure I have set for myself . I will once again tell you I\u2019ll never forget that lunch time phone call outside my local Starbucks where you told me your story and within a month I had my surgery booked . I was ready .<\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>2 Months!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"500\" height=\"500\" src=\"http:\/\/www.beliteweight.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/gastric_sleeve_karinas_2monthswm.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-7015\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.beliteweight.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/gastric_sleeve_karinas_2monthswm.jpg 500w, https:\/\/www.beliteweight.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/gastric_sleeve_karinas_2monthswm-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.beliteweight.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/gastric_sleeve_karinas_2monthswm-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.beliteweight.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/gastric_sleeve_karinas_2monthswm-200x200.jpg 200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>4 Months!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"500\" height=\"500\" src=\"http:\/\/www.beliteweight.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/gastric_sleeve_karinaswm_4months.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-7016\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.beliteweight.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/gastric_sleeve_karinaswm_4months.jpg 500w, https:\/\/www.beliteweight.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/gastric_sleeve_karinaswm_4months-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.beliteweight.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/gastric_sleeve_karinaswm_4months-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.beliteweight.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/gastric_sleeve_karinaswm_4months-200x200.jpg 200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>10 Months!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"500\" height=\"500\" src=\"http:\/\/www.beliteweight.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/gastric_sleeve_10months_karinaswm.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-7017\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.beliteweight.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/gastric_sleeve_10months_karinaswm.jpg 500w, https:\/\/www.beliteweight.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/gastric_sleeve_10months_karinaswm-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.beliteweight.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/gastric_sleeve_10months_karinaswm-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.beliteweight.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/gastric_sleeve_10months_karinaswm-200x200.jpg 200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>1 Year!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"500\" height=\"500\" src=\"http:\/\/www.beliteweight.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/gastric_sleeve_1year_karinas_wm.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-7018\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.beliteweight.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/gastric_sleeve_1year_karinas_wm.jpg 500w, https:\/\/www.beliteweight.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/gastric_sleeve_1year_karinas_wm-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.beliteweight.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/gastric_sleeve_1year_karinas_wm-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.beliteweight.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/gastric_sleeve_1year_karinas_wm-200x200.jpg 200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>18 Months!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"500\" height=\"500\" src=\"http:\/\/www.beliteweight.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/gastric_sleeve_karinas_18months.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-7019\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.beliteweight.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/gastric_sleeve_karinas_18months.jpg 500w, https:\/\/www.beliteweight.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/gastric_sleeve_karinas_18months-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.beliteweight.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/gastric_sleeve_karinas_18months-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.beliteweight.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/gastric_sleeve_karinas_18months-200x200.jpg 200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Doesn&#8217;t she look incredible?
