  • Welp... everyone has been asking me 'what's the secret' it hasn't been a secret, just a personal transformation that has given me so much joy and happiness. I had Gastric Bypass surgery on 3rd November 2021, 11 months later I am finally ready to open up and share what it is that I had done for weight loss.

    I had VSG January 2021. Best decision of my life. No more diabetes, high blood pressure, and my joints no longer ache. I can do anything and go anywhere without concern of fit or accommodations. Like you, I was READY. I turned 40 and desperately needed the transformation on a physical, mental, and spiritual level.

      I have a question, they don't have minimum weights right? Like if I'm 210/215 and want it I would be able to right? I found doctors in Turkey that would do it but I'm still doing research, I want to be as well informed as possible.

    I am glad you took the right decision for you but I wish you were transparent since the beginning. I remembered at the beginning of the year , you said that you made some lifestyle changes. You changed the way you eat and you are doing therapy. The reality is that losing more than 50 pounds on your own is very hard . Anything that is a benefit for your health is the ultimate good decision.
