Let’s show some BWLW love to Anj’ela who lost 146 pounds with weight loss surgery. Her motivation was controlling her diabetes and being there for her grandchildren. Here is what she shared with us:
“Just,wanted to share my story. I had gastric bypass weight loss surgery on March 22, 2012. I started off weighing 439 pounds and now I weigh 293 pounds. To God be the glory! My motivation was my grandchildren. I have 4 children (3 are adults) and 2 grandchildren. My diabetes was out of control and I knew I had to do something before I died, so I had the gastric bypass weight reduction surgery. Now, I just monitor everything I eat. I have an app on my phone the gives me different exercises to do daily, but mostly I just walk and drink a lot of water. I turned 40 on the 24th of April and I simply did not want to die.”
