Hi everyone my name is Nataly, and I'am a new member of VST. I'am on my 4th week post-op, and am feeling super. Yes I'am young but this surgery was very nessecary and am glad I did it because I feel great. I have lost about 35 pounds. I have been struggling with my weight since I was about 8 years old, I been through the whole name calling,getting pushed around and not being able to find clothes. I'am starting college soon and this surgery (Sleeve) has changed me completely from my attitude tothe way I see things. I'am very happy that my dad is supporting me through all of this and that very soon I will reach the weight I want and look great. To everyone I want to say Congrats and hope everyone is happy.:thumbup::lol0:
