Hello this is me... Taking my life back 10/20/16....

Hello this is me...

The one always hiding behind someone in pictures. The one always taking pictures but not wanting to be in the frame. The one not liking the reflection in the mirror. The one with high blood pressure, sleep apnea, pre diabetes , TMJ and living in constant pain. Always up in weight and rarely down. I've tried it all, HCG, phentermine, topamax, Belviq, Jenny, Seattle, Medifast,WW just to name a few, nothing worked for long. This new normal of yo-yo dieting weight loss then more gain was not normal to me.

So,I'm taking my life back in 3 days. I Will be in the pictures and no longer afraid of how it turns out. I will be healthy, and not live in pain. I'm nervous and I'm afraid, but I can't continue to live this way.

I'm choosing to self pay, because my Bmi is not enough to get approved by insurance in the US.

As I embark on this journey, I will update with pictures and how Things are progressing.

You will have no regrets, 4 weeks out and already down 2 Jean sizes. And 22 lbs . It's so worth it. !!! Good luck. First week will be hard but it gets so much better after that.

Hello! I absolutely know what you mean! I'm getting sleeved on 10/25. My start weight was 213, but I'm only 5,1 so insurance is covering. My first visit the nurse said to be careful cause I couldn't loose an ounce before my insurance approval. Now everything is ready. Congratulations on making this decision. I can't wait to get in front of the camera for a change!
