I’ve been lurking on this page for a few months now. I am a 38 year old mother of 1. I’ve contemplating having the surgery for a few years now, a couple years ago I managed to lose the weight on my own. However after different life events I’ve gained the weight I lost plus more. I am currently 347lbs and only 5’3 I’ve never been this heavy before and so uncomfortable.
I’ve managed to get all of my clinics done and now it’s the waiting game with my insurance company. I am excited and nervous about the process. I am ready to be healthier and more active for my child.

Your story caught my attention because I too am 38 and in CT. I am up in New Milford. I just had my sleeve surgery in March at Danbury hospital. Best decision I have ever made. I am 5'2" and was up to 295. I am just over 2 months out and down to 250. I still have a long way to go but already feel so much better wirh my health. Good luck with your process it is so worth it!!

I met with my surgeon, purchase my shake for my pre op diet and the reality that I will be sleeved on the 31st has set in. I am excited and nervous at the same time, but I know this is something I have to do to improve my health and mobility!
