Hi All!
I'm here, 2 days before my surgery, super excited, full of mixed emotions, and HUNGRY!
I have battled weight issues my whole life. It got harder after I had my two extremely handsome sons. They are two years apart, my youngest is going to be two in November, my oldest, 4 in November....(November seems to be a BIG month for us).
I have been in maternity clothing since my first born, because it was comfortable and I did not want to deal with my old clothes not fitting. I need to get out of it and I have tried everything possible for me from diet pills, to starving my self. Nothing helped! I would exercise for months at a time, and nothing...I would lose 3-4 lbs then gain double back! It was insane! I went from 13/14 to well...honestly I don't even know my size now, but I would think I'm near the 20's!
My cousin had the surgery and I saw how much happier she was afterwards, so I asked her what she did and she told me about the sleeve. Since that day I have researched and researched...I finally brought it to my husband and to my surprise, he supports me 100%! So we looked at our finances and came up with the money for me to go to Mexico!
So I guess I can update this once I am on the "looser" side :)
