Hey everyone,

My name is Ashaley I am 23 years old mother of 2. I have a very supportive boyfriend who has been with me through this entire journey. My father passed in April 2013 at 54 he the reason i decided to get WLS. He had many health problems streaming from weight and once he finally lost the weight it was toooooo late ???? .... But i promised him that I would take hold of my health before it was too late. After alot of back and forth I decided to attend a seminar. That day 7/1/2013 I had made my mind up about that this was what I needed to do. After a very long journey I was sleeved on Monday January 6,2014!!! First new years that i might actually be able to meet my resolution about taking control of my weight. I feel amazing and Have lost 21lbs 11 on the liquid diet and 10 after post op. I hope god and my father continue to watch over me through this journey ...

Just wanted to share my story you all the beat of luck and thanks for being here you are all very supportive!!!

Congratulations on being sleeved!

It was a brave thing to do, it's not an easy surgery, but you have now taken control of your health and well being as well as your weight. You have also ensured that your kids won't be denied you being in their lives when they grow up....

I am so sorry about your father but I bet he will be watching and be very proud of you. Good luck in your journey ahead - this is just the beginning of your story, let us know how you are doing :-)

Congratulations! And also, you might not realize it, but you are very fortunate and smart to have done this at such a young age! You have your whole life ahead of you, and with two small children, you will be able to do things with them, things that I as an overweight parent, was not able to do. And that means a lot! Congrats!

Congratulations!

I lost my dad when I was 6 years old. Among other health issues, he was morbidly obese. So I feel your pain. I know that your dad must be so proud of you right now. I hope mine will be as well when I get sleeved later this month.

Stay strong and keep up your faith in God. 2014 is going to be your year!

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.
