I got divorced in 2010 (at the age of 22), and a few months earlier decided to change my life. I lost initially 120lbs on my own until May 2011. I ran half marathons, exercised all the time but then I had a physical injury that turned into fibromyalgia and a number of my hormones got out of control and I've gained 90lbs of those back. I've struggled to lose since then but can't so I've turned to the sleeve surgery to help me. I've had a lot of criticism since gaining the weight back, especially since I work with the public - which I never had before I lost weight and its taking a toll on my emotions. I want to continue to run half marathons but can't at my current weight due to injury.
