Hello everyone! I am currently 19 days pre op,, I have opted to have the gastric sleeve done.I have been over weight my entire life. I was always the biggest kid in class, the last to get picked for teams, and have ALWAYS had to suffer relentless ridicule from the human race. Being judged constantly, when those STRANGERS don't even know you, has tremendously impacted my life.I was very lucky to meet my husband and have two wonderful kids. They accept me for who I am no matter how big I am, but my health is being jeopardized now, and I want to see my babies grow up!I have never had any luck with diets, I'd lose a pound her and there and gain back 10. I've exercised until I have injured myself, making myself bed ridden for 9 months. I've starved myself, beat myself up, felt like a loser because i couldn't make a "diet" work. And worst of all,,, I have hidden myself from the world and my family has paid for it! Time for an extreme change!Any and all support and friends would be GREATLY appreciated!
