Hi!  I stumbled upon Bariatric Pall in my research on the Sleeve surgery.  I have always battled excess weight.  In my memory, there is only a short period of time in my life where I was at a goal weight and that was my senior year in high school. Even then, it resulted from a summer of back to back basketball camps where all I ate was one salad a day.  In other words, it was very unhealthy weight loss.  Once back in school and back to a normal life, the weight slowly came back on.  In college it came on much much faster, mostly because I ate horrible and stopped exercising as much.  As the years went on, my weight went up and down based on what was going on in my life.  The whole time, I swore I would never allow myself to hit 300 lbs.  Surely I would be able to just exercise and that would never happen.  Well, sadly I was at 300 when I got pregnant 3 years ago.  When my son was born, I reached my highest weight of 332 lbs and I stayed there for about 2 1/2 years.  It was not until I made this decision to get the sleeve surgery that I finally saw results on the scale.  It's a daily battle, but I feel with this surgery, I am better armed to take on a society that is food driven.  Here is to a brightand healthy future with my family!
