iwantconfidence

No your are not lonely anymore.! I'm 18 and will be sleeved, before college starts:-) hopefully!

Hi i'm very new here! I'm 18 and I have recently graduated high school. I'm young but I love this site and how its like a family and you guys encourage one another! Okay lets get to the stats I'm 5ft5in I weigh 246. I've pretty much been overweight my whole life...it runs in my family so I kinda had no way of escaping it. Not only have I been overweight but I lack confidence. I mean I feel pretty at times and smile a lot but I lack the confidence that a young lady suppose to have. I constantly compare myself to others. I also feel hurt that the fashion trends of today doesn't carry my size (1XL/20). Also its summer time before of my friends && I go our separate ways to college, there's so many swim parties I would love to go to but i lack confidence to put on swimsuit. Thats why I choose to have the gastric sleeve. Me & my mom talked about it and did all the consultations, meetings and things since November, insurance was approved...I will be a sleeved lady before school starts this fall:-)

Oh wow congrats!!! Keep me posted.! I wish you the best.

My doctor is Dr. Joseph Kuhn in Dallas. My date was pushed back because of test I had to take for college, but we are in the process of resetting. It will be this summer for sure.
