Hi all! I’m Heidi, a Canadian ex-Pat living in Sydney, Australia. I’m doing this surgery because my mom died 10 years ago from obesity, she lived her own 600lbs life. So at 116kg, it’s time to make sure my daughters don’t lose their mom to obesity.

Coming up on my 1 year post sleeve surgery. It’s been a heck of a ride!! I’m down between 101-108lbs on any given day. Now just trying to stay where I am at around 171-177. I’m back in the gym after a 6 month hiatus. Need to tighten up. It’s amazing how confident I feel when I put clothes on now. I did like the shopping but it gets expensive!!! Also every person you haven’t seen in a while don’t recognize me then I have to explain what I have done and how it works!!! I find talking about my journey definitely helps with the process. Looking forward to year number 2!! Good luck to everyone having the surgery, stick to the process!!!

I am still waiting for my surgery, but I just had to tell you all I finally got to onderland today!!! I weighed in at 198.8 this morning!! I am so proud of myself. I have one more visit to my dietician and NP before I can even begin to have my surgery scheduled. I also still need to get cardiac clearence and an EGD done but I'm going to lose as much as I can before my surgery.
