I had 20 procedures

Yes I am scarred! I have lots of them!!! In 2016 I had weight-loss surgery. I lost 138lbs! Congrats you say! I say thank you even though I don’t like my body! I suffer from body dysmorphia. I have to force myself to eat some days. It has been rough after my weight loss surgery.

Fast forward to 2017 just 2 days before my birthday… along comes the first of many seizures. It caused me to have a near fatal car accident! They told my wife I was not going to make it and to call my family. After a month in the trauma unit at Vanderbilt and almost a month at Stallworth rehabilitation. I am still here!

From dialysis to feeding tubes to home health care this became my life. It drastically changed. Before my accident I weighed 130 lbs. the day I woke up I weighed almost 300lbs again. My body retained so much fluid. I couldn’t walk, eat, drink or even swallow. I still had the feeding tube when I came home.

i have had around 20 procedures and am still going to the doctors.

I have lots of scars, but you know what I love my scars because they tell my story
