  15. Hi my name is sarah. Im 37 and having the sleeve on the 23. Im divorced with two girls 6 and 8. I havent told my family - we arent close. A few of the ladies at work will help me post op and I am hoping things go smoothly. Seems like its going to take forever before it gets here and I go from being totally nervous n freaked out to just wanting it to be over. I want to start my life - not being fat, and being able to do things more with my girls. Not being tired all the time. Not having everything hurt. The last time I had surgery it didnt go well and long story short my life fell apart. So this is bringing up alot of emotions and anxiety. I am putting all my hopes on this that it will give me a jump start to help me change my life. To help me become better and healthier for my girls but what if I fail at this like I have failed at everything else what if this causes more problems then it helps what if what if lol sorry guys i really dont have anyone to talk to pls im not trying to cause anyone to have doubts I just dont know what to do anymore
