Congratulations on making the decision to change your life! I made the decision to get the sleeve in March and my unofficial surgery date is July 2nd. I have days where I question my decision but then I bring myself back to reality and I know that I need to do this for myself and my family. I guess I am alittle afraid of the unknown hence the reason why I stalk this forum! It really helps reading what other's are going through.

Good luck with your journey!!

I have spoken to many people about this surgery, and other types of surgeries that are available. I have tried so many different diets and excercise plans over the years and what I have been getting alot of from people around me is "oh your so young, you can do it without the crazy surgery". I explain that I have done the dieting and the excercising, and it just does not work for me. I was always a little on the bigger side, never a skinny petite person. But I really started to pack on the pounds after I had kids. Now that my kids are older, and I am not having anymore kids I felt it was time for me to start focusing on my health, and how I am going to make sure I am going to be around for my kids.
