I'm a 37 year old wife and mother. I work full time in the healthcare field. I have been overweight my whole life. After my freshman year of college, I lost a bunch of weight and was the thinnest I had ever been. When I started my sophmore year my weight just ballooned. My heaviest at that point was 286. In 2006 I joined WW and Curves and lost 30lbs in 3 months. Then I broke my foot and ended up with a DVT and PE. After that, I was never able to regain my momentum. I gained most back and lost again then gained some back. I've been holding strong in the 264 area for awhile, give or take a few pounds. I started my 6 month physician supervised diet and exercise program in September 2014. I only lost 6 pounds during that time. I'm set to have surgery on 3/30/15. I am getting very nervous and having a lot of self-doubt. I hope a gastric sleeve and the decrease in hunger that comes with it will be the tool I need to help change my life and become fit and healthy for my family.
