Hey lovely people! I hope you all are having a lovely December and staying as corona free as possible! After years and years of struggling with my weight and being labelled as FAT since I was 5 years old, I decided to go for the Gastric Sleeve Surgery! I am now 26 years old and married but the insults from other people and family never stopped. I was always on diets even as a child and played sports so was pretty active,but then at 15 years old I found out I have PCOS and that completely shattered my soul. The weight kept piling on despite dieting and relationships became difficult. When I met my now husband for the first time,I decided to let him know about my PCOS and the chances of not being able to conceive. It was difficult to open up and it killed me inside but he was still happy to go ahead. As the years went on, family and friends started seeing the weight gap between my husband and I. "Look at her and look at him",they would say. "Maybe she eats his meals!" It was difficult and depressing and people would insult as if it was the most normal thing in the world to do. Why can't people just support and not harass others? What do they from hurting people? Due to Covid this year, I had time on my hands and decided I wanted to be a different person, one who was much healthier and happier. I had my surgery on the 2nd of December 2020 and my weight stats are as follows: Highest weight: 113kgs Surgery weight:107kgs Current weight:101kgs I am so happy I have made this decision and I can see that so many others on here have as well! I wish nothing but love and support to all the lovely people on here. [emoji3059] Sent from my SM-G988B using BariatricPal mobile app
