I called everyone I knew that had the surgery and researched online both negative and positive before making a decision. You will hear negative remarks but I didn’t let that stop me. Don’t think I wasn’t afraid or hesitant but I had utmost respect for my Doctor and I think that is the beginning of the positive process. My experience with Dr Duperier was totally positive. I AM FREE!!! My highest weight was recorded at 420 Pounds : Surgery weight was 380 Pounds Current Weight as of : 162 Pounds Total weight loss: 218 Pounds Hope Marie Cueva But now, I know what it’s like to love myself and be there for me. My daughter taught me life has so much meaning. I been a prisoner in my body and now I know what it is to live for me. You guys have given me the goals and strength to move on in my life. Without you BMI of Texas I would have never reached where I am now. She needs me so much but honestly, I need her so much. I will live longer for my Daughter who is 11 years old and is Autistic. I am so grateful because of this surgery. I have a huge family system and friend support that has guided me through this journey. I will be doing my first half marathon in December with the BMI of Texas staff at the Rock-N-Roll Marathon here in San Antonio. I am no longer on any medications for diabetes, high blood pressure or high cholesterol. Until then I will keep moving and doing what is good for my body & heart.
Body Combat is my heart and one day I hope to shadow one song. I shadowed my first class with my Body Attack instructor. They gave me the confidence and the drive. I now take Body Combat, Body Pump & Body Attack. Then finally I started taking classes at Gold’s Gym. Moved up to 20 minutes a day of walking, finally the most I have ever walked is 5 miles. I workout 6 days a week, I started walking at 10 minutes a day. I have no regrets of having this surgery. The BMI of Texas staff has saved my life. This is a place that performs Gastric Bypass, Gastric Sleeve & Lap band surgeries. So in August of 2011 I finally got the courage to go speak to the staff of BMI of Texas. He was the one I knew that was going to take care of me. That was only for diabetes So here comes Augwhen the decision was made to have the surgery finally, I remembered Dr. I was prescribed 14 different medications. Ortiz felt if it was going to happen, it’s going to happen. I even couldn’t be put to sleep due to my weight. She couldn’t perform a hysterectomy due to my weight. Even my OB/GYN brought it up because I have endometriosis. She didn’t push me to have it, it was just mentioned. Linda Esquivel also brought up gastric bypass surgery. Years went by I found a new primary Doctor. Did I decide that day to do it? No actually I didn’t. Seger’s seminar way before at the Medical Towers that my PCP recommended that I go to. Gastric Bypass surgery was a decision that was thought of many years ago.
