people say all the time you can do it without surgery. Well, I tried for 50 years. Over and over again. The weight just came back on. The hard way didn't work for me.

Finally received it after nearly 2 months. Its cute and made very well.

It's 4 a.m. And I'm on the way to the hospital, so freaking scared!! I was all excited up till this point! Hope all goes well! Wish me luck please!

I was trolling Facebook this morning and so many people were questioning their decision... It got me to thinking about my life and how I got to where I am.
I am 50. Yes 50! This is gonna be my best year ever! I am the mom of two preteen boys! I am a happily married, Christian, stay at home mom. I trust my husband and his decisions and opinions. And he loves me no matter what. But it hasn't always been that way.
I was in a 17 year abusive marriage, I got married at 18 and it was downhill starting on our honeymoon... I spent the years running to food to eat away the pain. I would yoyo, lose, gain more, and ended up depressed and angry. My highest weight was about 325, maybe more, I was too ashamed to weigh myself...
So, when I turned 50 I decided to take care of myslef for the first time ever. This Jan or Feb I am getting sleeved! My husband, of 13 years now, is totally supportive, He wants me to stay by his side as we grow older together! My kids are worried, but my 12 year old said "Mom I just want you to be healthy and stay with me".
So for the first time in my life, I'm saying yes to me. I'm saying yes to life. I'm saying yes to taking control and taking care!
No one is taking my control away or talking me out of this. I want to do this for me
I''m Vlogging on YouTube under 50 year old me. I want to be held accountable. I want to surround myself with like minded people <3 I am so thanful to have found this site and to have found others who struggle with life the same way I do, and who have made the decision to fight for ourselves for the first time ever <3

I was sleeved on 11/22 and was never diagnosed with sleep apnea before surgery either but after surgery every time I fell asleep they would have to place the oxygen on me. Hoping this is something that will go away along with the pounds. I'm 3 1/2 weeks out of surgery and down 16lbs. Hw 239 Sw 234 CW 218

Well done, my soul mate. I too was sleeved on 10/10/2016. Have lose 32 lbs, I feel better knowing I an in the ballpark!
I am just beginning to get more Protein from food than the Protein shake. My GERD has been moderate but it does break through every few days making drinking difficlut. But I am thankful for the weight loss and for getting my face back . Continued success!

Hello Everyone, I was sleeved on 10/10/2016. My first week post op was the hardest I couldn't sleep in my bed and the gas pain were terrible. Its 12/15 and I am 224 I started at 260 post op it is so rewarding but my Gerd is terrible everything makes me belch and I mean everything gerd meds don't really help. I do have a time getting all my fluids in daily. But my over all experience is great. I really could stomach alot of Protein so I try to get my protein in by eating which is still hard since 5 bites of food fills you up. Loving the weightless and all the attention from Co workers so far it a very positive experience. I do miss eating like regular folks but I wouldn't trade my journey for nothing.

This was slightly rude. You can tell how worried she is, you're assuming she's like "whatever" and moving on.
I think you should be fine.

@ sill21.. All the way from the gulf coast in beautiful Mobile, Al, I send you positive energy, blessings, and courage. You will do just fine. I'm nine days post op and when the and when the anesthesiologist came in to talk to me , I was like I so am not up for this. But I pushed through and I am fine. You will be fine also. Congrats on the decision to change your life.

No one told me I was brave for having the sleeve surgery and taking control of my health for the second half of my life...so I am telling myself that. I am BRAVE! And now I'm telling all of you. You are courageous souls for taking this step and I honor you!

I went to see my surgeon Yesterday and he gave me a tentative date of january 25th. I just got a call from the office saying that my insurance has approved the surgery and they scheduled me. I'm so excited, I start my pre-op diet on the 11th of january. I just wanted to share that with you guys those of you who have already had surgery, what did you experience your 1st month or so afterwards?. If you are already into your pre-op how are you doing ?.

You had WLS you are going to lose weight that's guaranteed. While you are waiting, are you getting in your Water and Protein count, looking for receipts for purée and solid food stage and walking. Try to get your mind off losing pounds because you are GUARANTEED to lose the weight. We are all different this is your weight loss journey not your co workers. So come on their is a lot to do on the journeeeyyy. Be encouraged your life began again on November 29th. Wishing you the best. @ krystalb4rny
