[yousefq8i]

i'm 15 years old, yes im overweight, im gonna have this surgery in 20 days, kinda nervous but im gonna have to do this i tried many ways to lose weight but none worked, wish me good luck, and you look amazing.

[pito405]

You look amazing.

[DD72511]

your videos are very inspiring to me, I really am happy for you, you are so beautiful, and you have such a big heart and are a very nice person, I am having surgury the 25th of July and I am feeling scared and excited at the same time.. your videos really are so helpful! thx!

[madintx2010]

I am thinking about having surgery , since my last baby I lost about 50 or 60% of my hair due to some kind of autoimune disorder, along with thyroid, fibromialgya and lupus among others things. I am even more concern about diabetes and heart due to family history. I feel that this is my choice to be healthier... I have heard about the hairloss with the surgery .. have you experience any hairloss, if so, did the hair regrow? and how? I am very worried about it. I'll appreciate any info. thanks!

[vicorly]

I'm considering having this surgery myself, since the full gastric bypass seems like forced starvation, and I don't want to experience "dumping syndrome" or risk excessive malabsorbtion. How are you doing now 2 years after surgery?

[Gldn172]

I just had the sleeve done 11/30/2010. And the pain was the worst. You inspire me. I am only one week post-op. Yet I can can already see the results, and my husband. I too lost 11 or 12 lbs before surgery. Keep up the good work.

[phillytomcat]

Thank you so much for subbing me, I have to watch your video's to get to know you better, I just watched this one and WOW !!! Good for you !! Well done...

[emonteaux]

I am eight days post op and your before video really said just what I had felt. I made a special scrap book for my daughter telling her how much I love her. I wrote a huge 'just in case' letter and picked out funeral songs. I was scared. Your video is so encouraging. Thank you for it. Hope your journey continues to be all you ever hoped and dreamed!

[turkita0427]

You are a great example of overcoming, I do now operate 25 days, I made a gastric sleeve and I feel my life differently and I make the time go really fast to see me as beautiful as you. Fight lot to do this surgery and although he spent little time my life is different. I'm so happy and grateful to God and the angel from my physician. My English is not perfect but I wanted to send my congratulations and feelings of admiration. God bless you. A big hug from Colombia. Ani.

[thinthin27]

I love your video...I couldn't stop crying! you look so happy and beautiful! Im getting mine done in 3 months and I am so scared but I have struggled with my weight all my life. Ive never known what it is like to be thin and healthy. Ive had a hard life but I have a two year old son who needs an active healthy mom. Im 27 and my husband just left me so Im on my own...its so hard but I have a very supportive grandmother and mother. After seeing your video I know I can go through this. thank you

[OOXTINA1]

[cinjo61]

You look so beautiful! I will soon have VSG surgery...I am so excited. You really did rock that sleeve!

[nmasgrl]

I haven't even watched the whole video yet and I'm already crying after you said you felt sad and you didn't know why - I feel EXACTLY that way, especially the fast few weeks.

I'm so glad I found your video :) Congratulations on how far your hard work and dedication have brought you!

[jonsgurl92]

I remember every emotion that we went through pre surgery!! I still have a way to go, but I feel soooo much better and soooo different now. I am extremely happy and proud of you! My Sleeve 1 year Surgiversary is April 14- where has the time gone? All the best to you and yours!!!

[jcsannicolas63]

Your an inspiration to many. I've been trying to lose weigt on my own but recently been researching VSG. I came across your videos and found it to be much more helpful in making my decision to have it done or not. I just want to say...Thank you. I pray that you continue your successful journey and also that you continue to help others like me.

[allforliving]

[jessicaquesada21]

Awe beautiful Lady, What a difference in your beautiful smile so full of life. You did It!!

[allforliving]

thank you jess!

[puhlease1]

You're such an inspiration - happy surgiversary! I'm 4 months out, and I get discouraged by the slowness of the weight coming off sometimes, but you know, compared to before, it is just melting off. Thank you! I NEEDED this today! You look beautiful - you did before, but now you positively glow.

[allforliving]

Don't lose heart! It WILL come off! It may seem slow, but it really isn't! Glad to inspire you! I'm not perfect and some days I think, "Boy, I should be smaller than this by now"...but it doesn't matter. It all comes in time! Thank you for your words and best wishes to you!

[puhlease1]

Thanks - and ditto :) After a two week stall, the scale moved a few ounces down this morning - if I'd gear back up my exercise, it'd probably come off a bit faster. Bleh - I need a buddy to go work out with me ;)

[allforliving]

i know what you mean. i've not been doing much exercise for the past couple months. life has gotten so busy and it's so challenging to find the time. i'm trying to get back into a daily routine. we could encourage one another if you want to!!! like you can send me messages that say things like "did you get your butt up and moving yet today?" lol =)

[puhlease1]

LOL - my problem is, I can encourage you here, and myself, and have full intentions of hitting that ecercise bike or my complex fitness room when I get home - but then I don't. I need ya to physically come to North Carolina and say "come on, let's move our arses" ;)

[katiemh80]

[allforliving]

Thank you!

[metamarvin09]

Hey April.. Thanks a lot for watching my poem. It was really God who set to be my inspiration when I wrote this. April, I was just so touch and was about to cry when I watch you're before and after video. I know God, during that time, is wanting you to come closer to Him and just ask Him to heal you.

[ChubbyBear1960]
