Thank you!! It really helps to have this site, though everyone i've felt comfortable sharing this decision with has been really supportive, after a while i feel like im talking their ears off haha.

hi everyone I just decided to get the gastric sleeve. has already been in to see my doctor, doctor william fuller. my mom and sister both have had to gastric sleeve and have had incredible results. after 3 years of battling with trying everyday to lose weight I've decided to finally get some help and get a tool that will level the playing field for me. it's hard to fight a battle with no weapons. I have been over weight since I was a child, I am now 24 years old and ready for the stress and worry of weight loss to be a thing of the past, to now look forward to being healthy and vibrant and even happier than I am now. Im very nervous about the surgery and recovery sonce it will be my first but im excited too. all my doctor's and psychiatrist have agreed that it will be a terrific tool for me and all of us cannot wait to see how well I respond. I love reading everyones stories and think you all are so brave to seek happiness and admit that we need a little extra help, its no different to me somedays than thinking of having a gallbladder removed but other days the stigma of "weight loss surgery (why cant you just stop eating?)" gets to me, but I know that this is what will help me to lose the weight AND maintain. I want healthy children and an active life. So Hi everyone! Im not sure when ill be approved but I hope as soon as possible, ive laid my demons to rest, sought help and am already embracing the changes. I already eat healthy and am in the gym several times a week. So excited and nervous!!
