Hello all, i'm so glad i found this place. My name is Trish, and im newly 25. I've been overweight my entire life, which is weird considering i weighed 2lbs at birth. Anyways, im tired of being fat. I'm tired of working my ass off at the gym and eating right to see no results what so ever. My dr even tried putting me on phentermine. The first month i lost 9 lbs, 2nd month i lost 1 lb, and after that it seems like the pill stopped working all together. I weigh about 255. My BMI is 42. I'm seriously looking into having the lapband done. I think i've finally reached the point where im ready to have surgery. My mom had the gastric done, and is literaly half if not more the person she used to be. I've been browsing this site and looking at the before and after pics and i'm just so amazed.

I guess basically what im saying is i'm ready for a change. I'm tye 1 diabetic since ive been 12, and im hypertension.

I guess i'm just looking for advice and support. Anyways nice meeting you all.

Trish

      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.
