9 years to finally get sleeved (with pics)...thank you everyone for posting here

[NY Lou 204]

this forum and its members have been a blessing. during the past few years when I wasnt able to get sleeved, it was the posts in these forums that allowed me to not give up and not settle for gastric bypass or the lap band. I was determined to get the sleeve, even though my insurance approved me for either gastric bypass or the lap band years ago. it took me 9 years to finally get sleeved...this weight loss journey started for me in 2004 and finally in 2013 it happened. its been a long journey, but finally Im heading in the right direction. so I thank everyone who has ever posted in these forums because it was all of you that kept me going and didnt allow me to give up. if interested, read my story by clicking the link below in my signature file.
