Thank you so much for sharing your story. I am inspired by all that you shared. I am 59 years old and can relate to so much of what you said about life leading up to WLS. I am about one month away from sleeve surgery. I'm finally at the tail-end of all the insurance requirements and I have to admit I have been playing mind games with myself about going through with the surgery. I know I will have the surgery and will be so grateful for it. I want you to know that reading stories like yours helps me so much. So...thank you and congratulations!!!
