33 Years Old, 3 Kids In Atlanta, GA

I am so glad I found this forum. It has been very helpful for me when it came to making my decision. I've decided to get the gastric sleeve. Let me tell u a Lil about myself. I'm 33 330 lbs. with 3 kids. I began gaining weight when I was about 20 yrs. old. I've tried every diet out here dads, videos weight watchers, hcg drops, everything. I would lose weight then gain it back and more. I want to live a long and healthy life for myself and kids. I'm very excited about this. I had my 1appt. Aug.18. Did my labs and Ekg. My insurance require a 6mo. program. I'm ready for this life change. Any recommendations or advice my fellow sleevers has are greatly appreciated.

So I'm required to do a 5 yr diet log complete with all the diets and ways I've tried to lose weight in the last 5 yrs. Included with dates, how long it lasted, how much weight was lost, etc. Has anyone else had to do this ???? I'm been busy making appts trying to get everything out the way. I'm still very excited, can't wait to be sleeved. Time is going slowly. 6 mo end where are you ????

So, I went for my psych evaluation on Friday. It was OK nothing like I expected. She was very nice. Dr. Portabello in Snellville, GA. She recently had the procedure herself. She gave me Alot of helpful tips. It was nice she knew exactly what I was going through. The nervousness and excitement. I don't know how it works. She said she would send her results over to Emory. I hope everything went OK. She also told me she has a support group that meets once a week. If I was interested after I get sleeved. Also, I'm still working on my 5 yr diet log.
