Hello to all!
I am new here, but have actually been following your site for a few months.
I am set to have sleeve surgery in Febuary of 2012, I am paying for it all by myself.
I am excited to get started on my journey to becoming the "me" I knew I could "be".
I have been fighting my weight since my teens, and now that I will be 40 in December have decided to really do something about it, that will help the weight to come off and STAY off. I have no problem "losing" the weight, it's the issue of retaining my low weight status. I am a grazer, but dont eat to the point of stuffing myself. I am at a point where I am kinda depressed, and am at my wits end with things.
My closet is FILLED with clothes from my smaller days (currently a 18-20). I am TIRED of going and purchasing more FAT clothes, and just REFUSE to do so.
I would MUCH rather wear the stuff I have in my closet, and put my $ elsewhere.
I know that this surgery will also be a change in lifestyle and am looking for a sleeve support group to attend pre-surgery as well as post surgery.
Any hints or words of wisdom are always welcome
thanks
