I have been over weight most of my life. I have always heard "You are cute to be a big girl." I hated it. I have done all kinds of diets and pills I've lost some weight but it always comes back plus some.I'm so tired of the yo-yo effect and I just recently had a baby girl so my weight is really out of control. I have a few health issues hypertension, borderline diabetic and high cholesterol. I don't want to not be around to raise.my daughter so when my doctor suggested the sleeve I started my research. I have heard good and bad reveiws but in the end they all say they are very glad they did it.
I'm glad to say I'll be getting sleeved in a month and I am so excited.
I want to thank all of you for your stories and sharing your journey it has helped me in ways I can't express.
I will be back posting pictures and sharing my journey . Stay tuned

Hello everyone just wanted to give an update on what's going on. I have about 3 more weeks before I'm sleeved. I am so excited and nervous. I will be 42 on Saturday God willing and I am so looking forward to leaving the old me behind forever. I don't ever want to go back to being 325 pounds ever again. I want to thank you all for the kind comments and for all the great stories that I have read. I will be posting some pictures soon so as I go along I can share as well. I'll be back soon. Thanks everyone
