Started my journey this week.

I'm 34 weighing in at 252 lbs. I've struggled with my weight my entire life. I've finally had enough, the day I could no longer strap into my favorite roller coaster was the day I started looking into weight loss surgery.

I've decided on the gastric sleeve and am currently waiting to schedule my sleep study and attend the mandatory seminar for qualifications for my insurance.

This is an amazing place to read information and I'm grateful to you all!!!

Had my consultation and met with my surgeon. He agrees that gastric sleeve is my best choice and was surprised at how much research I had already done. Psych evaluation on Tuesday and sleep study next Monday.

The exact same thing happened to me!! I brought my niece to an amusement park and couldn't fit in one of the rides . I was so horrified and embarrassed . That was the moment I knew I needed to do something. I'm one month post op and down 25 pounds. I feel great. I have been freaking out a little because my weight loss has slowed down a lot . But I'm gonna work harder and get there!! I'm going to California in September and going to 4 amusement parks and riding EVERY ride!!!
