Hello All!!! I've been on this site since 2010...

Hello All!!! I've been on this site since 2010 & have finally decided to take the plunge & get the sleeve done!!! My regular weight has always been between 125-130lbs. I had my first son (6lbs 13ozs) & bounced back, no problems! 4 years later I had my second (9lbs 11ozs) & it took about 3 years, Adipex, & working out to get to 140-145lbs! 4 years after that I got pregnant with twin boys *Surprise*! (7lbs 14ozs & 8lbs)! My weight has stayed between 200-225lbs since then!
I try to run & play with them, but my back & knees hurt! I miss playing! These kids are my world & they deserve a Mom that is capable of playing with them like they want too!!
So here I am, I've been diagnosed with slightly high cholesterol & sleep apnea! I refuse to let this get worse! I've done all my appointments & im scheduled for surgery on June 28th, 2016!!!! I'm so excited!!!
I will update with pictures soon!!

Hey there! I don't know what to bring, as I've not had the surgery....yet. I would probably bring comfy clothes, for sure! Please update as you can...I'd be really interested in learning more about the procedure! What doctor/Hospital are you using in MS?

Chapstick. The first 24 hours your mouth will be dry from not eating or drinking.
