I've been a big girl all of my life. My passion is empowering plus size women to love who they are and love their bodies & discover their own beauty. I am a published author & founder of an organization for plus size women and girls. However I am not my healthiest and that a what's most important. I am tired of the restrictions that comes with being a plus size woman. I've tried loosing weight on my own but I can never maintain the stamina. I have hit a plateu several times and desperately in search of a tool to push me over the hump and get this weight off for good. I don't want to be the weight the "charts" say I should be. I want to be a weight thats good for ME! I have seriously been considering weight loss surgery for two years plus. I initially was interested in the lapband however I realized that came with a lot of maintence that my lifestyle simply can't accommodate. So after careful consideration and weighing out all of my options I decided to go with the sleeve. I finally was approved after two years of starting and stopping doc appointments and mishaps with paperwork submissions. Two months after everything was initially submitting they finally gave me my answer. I am ready for a new life.
