Hello.
My name is Anthony. It has been one year since my
Bariatric surgery. It has also been the best year of my
life. All my life I have battled with obesity. I cannot
remember ever having been this thin. Now, when I look in
the mirror, I have to remind myself it really is me. I
can enjoy my life now. I don’t think I ever would have,
had I not made the choice to have the surgery. A doctor
sat down with me and told me the future that was in
store for me. I was headed for dialysis. I had such
uncontrolled diabetes, I often walked around with a
blood sugar level of 400 or more. I was so used to it
being this high, I couldn’t even tell. The nurses would
tell my eyes were glossy. Now I check my blood sugar at
least twice a week and it has been great.
My
kids tell me they love their new dad. I actually get to
spend more time with my family! It is new and wonderful
to experience life again. Like anything else, it is
something you have to work at. I know what I can eat and
how much I can eat, but I don’t make food my focus
anymore. In fact, I feel like I kept my family in the
kitchen all the time before. Now we have a healthy life.
Yes—I
would do it all over again if I had to. I never want to
see that 320 pound guy again. I love myself too much to
find myself there again. I have a second chance at life.
THANK YOU Dr. Davenport for making miracles come true.
My family and I THANK YOU! |
