OMG I'm getting married tomorrow!!!!!!!! I'm a mix of all kinds of emotions and I just want to shout it from the top of a mountain. :-)
WLS surgery related I stated this journey needing a size. 24-26 wedding dress and my dress is a perfectly fitting size 16. That means I'm at about a size 10-12 regular dress.
Oh!!! I also scored a size 7-8 true religion jeans from a consignment shop here for $30. They look brand new!!!! Start my new job Tuesday... Life is being pretty nice to me right now.
:-D

Hello All,
My name is Asmaa, I am 40 years old, married, mother of 3 daughters, age 19, 12, and 10. I currently live in Philadelphia but am originally from DC/NoVA.
I have been on my weight loss journey for 19 years, right after I had my first child. I was always pretty slim growing up and only picked up weight after having kids. Over the last 10 years my weight has skyrocketed and before I knew it I was 328 pounds. It wasn't until I saw myself in a family picture that I realized how big I had gotten. Along with they weight gain I suffer from high blood pressure and sleep apnea. I am being treated medically for the HBP and have to sleep with a C-PAP mask for the apnea I have lower back problems and I plantar fasciitis.
I have been on every fad diet that anyone could mention, the weight drops but then it comes right back. I had considered weight loss surgery years ago but I felt that I was cheating and taking the easy way out. I felt that I could do i t on my own, and I did. I lost 80lbs by changing my eating habits and exercising. Then I injured my knee and had to have surgery. This slowed down my exercise routine and I returned to disordered eating and the weight came back. I exercise 3-5 times a week but it hasn't been enough. I needed a change and so I decided to look into weight loss surgery. After attending the information session, I felt confident that this option was right for me at this time in my life. The surgeons and staff are terrific. They are very kind and compassionate and care about each and every patient that they treat. And as the months have gone by in preparation for the surgery, I grow even more confident that this is the best choice in my journey. So with that being said......
My vertical sleeve surgery is scheduled for this coming Monday, October 14. I am so happy to be beginning my journey to weight loss and a more permanent healthy state.
Well that's my intro, I look forward to getting to know everyone!

Hi, i'm in Tucson and would be glad to help you out.. I'm a year out and down 195 lbs.

I'm here to answer any questions I can or help in any way Frank
