I have been overweight most of my life. I've gained and lost weight too many times to remember. In the pre-surgery phase when they wanted to know what diets I had tried my first thought was who can remember the all! I have always had a fairly healthy self image inspite of my weight. Then my hips started hurting and it started effecting my quality of life. My Dad is very overweight and has had both hips replaced and is basically handicapped now. The hip pain made me wake up and really realize what I was doing to myself and what I was doing to myself. Went to a seminar because I thought I wanted lap band, found out about the sleeve procedure and had a change of heart. Began the process of getting qualified for insurance coverage and began preparing for my new life. I am incredibly blessed that I have a supportive spouse. He has loved me while I have been fat and has been my biggest cheerleader since I made the decision to have surgery. Can't say enough wonderful things about him!
