I was admitted into the hospital for chest pains a few years ago, and had knee pain, back pain, could barley walk up a flight of stairs, I was in bad shape, the doctor told me at that time I was borderline diabetic, and heart attack as my heart was at the stage where it was going to enlarge and if I wanted to see my son graduate I needed to do something now or in 3 years I would be dead..I was always self conscious about amusement park rides, worrying about not being able to fit, and one of the last straws was having to ride alone because I was too big for my son to fit in the ride with me. He would always say mom when will you ride on a ride "with" me, and that along with what the doctor told me, was the final straw that broke the camels back, how could I be selfish and not do this surgery to live a better life when I have tried every other diet under the sun! I started doing research on the lab band, but then went with the sleeve... the best decision I ever made in my life. I am 2 years out, and am a proud pass holder to a local amusement park, I can ride any ride, and walk all day if needed without being out of breath, and I have competed in 2 5k's..Best life decision I ever made...ever
