Hi, I'm Shanitha. I am 33, single, childless, and ready to shed 100+ lbs. I was looking at the sleeve but my insurance won't cover it. Didn't want the bypass b/c didn't want things rerouted. In addition to the sleep apnea I've developed, I have lupus, fibromyalgia, and pulmonary hypertension...taking various meds have helped pack.on the pounds and I hurt too much to exercise like I should. Basically, I'm tired of being the fat girl and want to experience life on the healthier, slimmer side. Here to be a sponge and soak up all helpful info!
