Hello Everyone!!!



Recommended Posts

Hello, my name is Lesli, am 25 years old from Maryland, USA. I've been obese for as long as I remember. Like most, I've tried everything to loose the weight, but it only worked for a few weeks the most. After that I would gain all of it or more back. I've also been the funny one that has tons of guy friends and no boyfriends. But I'm tired of letting obesity rule my life. That's why I've decided to get a Gastric Sleeve. And am having it done in my country. It's going to be expensive, but it doesn't compare to the prices here in the US. I've found the Number one clinic in the country, and the number one surgeon. I don't have a date set. but it will be very soon. I'm soo HAPPY and confident that everything would be great. I'm more then ready to start my new life. Finding that special someone to share my life with. Doing the things I've only dreamed of. And am soo glad I've found a group like this. Ppl that are going thru the same things as me. A group that I can identify with, it feels me up with joy. Please feel free to give me any advise or suggestions. They are more then welcome...

Lesli - So glad that you found us.

I don't know much about doctors in the Dominican, but I know I love that country. I did some Work and Witness trips in the 80's and I fell in love with the people there. I keep telling my husband that I want to go back & I know we will one day.

What kind of questions do you have? You sure sound excited and energetic. I remember those feelings well.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
