Less of Leslie

I am a 31 year old mother of 2 in Sacramento, CA. I have an amazing and incredibly sexy husband of 12 years. I work as an Optician for a private practice Optometrist and as a Passion Parties Consultant. I volunteer as a Cheer Coordinator/Cheer Coach for a youth cheerleading program. I love life and I am always on the GO!

I have been trapped in my shell of a body for 10 years. I was always "average" or slightly chubby but not obese until the weight started coming on in 2001. All the members in my family (both sides) are overweight, so I think it was inevitable that my turn was soon coming. I have done all the fad diets, diet pills, Atkins, slim fast, weight watchers only to lose the most of 40 lbs, then gain the 40 back +10.

I have been the "pretty face" and the "funny friend" too long. I am so tired of being asked when I'm due. I want to be able to run and keep up with my kids and not miss a beat. I want my husband to be proud to have me on his arm (not to say that he's not.)I want to dodge Diabetes and Hypertension before I get them. I want my life back.

I was looking into WLS when I came across my Dr, went to his seminar and the light turned on.."THIS IS FOR ME!" What have I been waiting for and wasting my time doing? I have been stuck in this "pod" and didn't have the right tools to help me dig myself out.

I am scheduled for surgery on Dec 5 and I can't wait!!

Life, it's nice to meet you. My name is Leslie.
