I said that forever....but I finally decided that I wasn't happy with the me I had become. For all of my life I had been obese, and even though my family loved me...I no longer did. So I have taken the step to make this journey to change my life and I have never been more happy! I would like to have the gastric sleeve at St. Mary's in Huntington, WV. Because of insurance requirements, I have about 6 months to go. I'm in this for the long haul.
