I know where your coming from that's all I ever did was take care of everyone but me. Sadly now I am in so much pain and out of shape. I use an amigo when I shop. I hate feeling like this. So it is now my turn it's all about me and my health. I'm 61 I'm going to have the sleeve done soon waiting for a surgery date. I'm so excited I'm have trouble sleeping thinking about it. Thoughts of maybe it won't work or wow I could be thin. So very many thoughts. But I'm ready for this journey. My daughter had the sleeve done two years ago. She looks amazing she lost 130 pounds. She a whole new person. Good luck you will do great!
