I was thin all through childhood / adolescence. I gained my weight once I got my drivers license, once I got it, all forms of exercise stopped. Combine that with working in a restaurant cooking & sampling all night long,,, I put on 50 lbs my 18th year! From there it slowly crept up to 250-260 for most my adult life. Once the semi physical work stopped, I gained a lot more to my heaviest last summer at 320.
 
 I had made my first app with the dr. about the sleeve over a year ago & chickened out. After seeing the pics of myself from last summer's vacation I knew I had to do it, that I was slowly killing myself with too much food and a very sedentary life.
 
    So now it's done and so far, so good. :)
