Hi Everyone. I am Lovelymish1 and I live in the beautiful city of New York. I am 5ft 3 inches and I weigh 240lbs. In February I was at my highest weight of 255lbs, however, with diet and exercise I was able to lose 15 lbs struggling. I am struggling with my weight since birth. I was a 10 pounder at birth LOL.... have been on Real Self since March of this year and I must say that you guys have been so supportive and your posts have all been motivating. It has given me that extra push that I really needed to begin my gastric sleeve journey. At first I was a bit skeptical,
however with all the support that you guys have given me I'm so ready to start a healthier lifestyle. I really appreciate the support everyone on this website has given me and I will continue to share wonderful experiences that will become a reality very soon. I did my consultaion yesterday, May 29th and It went well. My insurance require 3 mths of weight management. I did the 1st one yesterday and I have the next one on June 30th. I will also get the packet soon to schedule the tests before surgery. The only test I need to do are the psychiatric evaluation and blood work as I do not have any co-morbidities. My surgeon is pretty cool and I'm really looking forward to this. My husband is supportive to an extent as he keeps telling me he is with me but I really don't need this surgery as I can lose this weight on my own, however, I got this! I'm tired of losing then regaining even more.... time to get my sleeveeeeeee!!!!!! yupppp!!! Love you guys you are all my family now.... Shhhhhhh .... Dont tell my mom she will have a nervous breakdown LOL... As I said I got this!!!
