Before, I never let my weight stop me from doing things like traveling or dining out. Now I avoid travel because I can't guarantee that the seatbelt will fit on the plane or whether people will judge me wherever I go. But the main reason that pushed me to have this done is later this year it will be five years cancer free. And it made me think "Except for the no cancer, am I really any healthier than I was then? Did I go through the hell of cancer treatments only to not live my life to the fullest?". So I started researching and decided the sleeve was the way to go. I hope to have the surgery by my 5 year cancerversery in October so I can at least feel like I have accomplished something.

I started my journey a month ago and just had my first follow up / weigh in with my surgeon today. So far I've lost 9 pounds so I am excited about that. I'm hoping to have my surgery around September once I jump through all these hurdles for the insurance company. Good luck everyone!!
