  1. Best wishes to you on this journey!!!! We're all (or have already) embarked on a new journey and with hard work we are going to make it!
  2. I havnt been sleeved yet, but ive read that chia seeds help tremendously.
  3. Also, find a support group in your area. They may be helpful to you as well.
  4. You should do all the research you can and base your decision on whats BEST for you. Only you know you! This forum is a great resource. You should consult with a surgeon and ask as many questions as you have. Ultimately, you should make this decision for you. Dont think about letting your family down, consider yourself above all. In the end, to be most beneficial ro your family you have to take care of you! Best wishes to you and I hope your decision comes easier.
  5. Ladyblie, i am soooo with u!...
  6. Then question is what do u think is best? Its ur body and ur the one who will have to LIVE with ur decision. Do what U feel best doing and dont let anyone change ur mind. Best wishes to u as u continue ur journey! :-)
  7. I totally understand what youre saying....I was just having this convo with a friend. I havent had surgery yet, but when I do I dont want to lose my curves either. I want to be healthy and comfortable in my skin. Best wishes to you!
  8. Congrats to u all.... I am scheduled to be sleeved in December. I have been so inspired by the stories on VST and am going to take these few months before surgery to prepare myself for this great change to come in life. God Bless...
  9. Omg!...ur story is so similar to mine!.... I am sooooo here with u on getting healthier. I too am in Jersey and am on my way to being sleeved soon. Like you, the most Ive lost ever was 30 lbs, just to regain it later. Im so happy to come across a story so similar to mine. I wish u much success! It would be good to connect, my email addy is tsmyle@yahoo.com.
