Hi everyone!

My name is Tania and I just had my sleeve done on Tuesday. I am fairly active on the OH website and just found a link to this forum.

I decided to have WLS after spending many of my adult years battling my weight. I have always fought my weight, but with the sleeve I think I can finally be successful.

I am a very busy mom to 5 great kids. Aric (15), Chris, (10), Marissa (4~the only girl), Aiden (3) and little Ian (1). My husband is in the army and is stationed at Fort Lewis, WA.

I have a lot of interests. I love to write stories and poems, have had one of my poems published, which makes me proud. I also like to shop, hang out with my hubby and kids, see movies, visit new places, visit historical places (big history buff!) and enjoy life! I have a few ideas for opening my own business, but I am so busy with the kids, it's hard to get any free time. Soon enough they will all be in school and then I can devote more time to pursuing my dreams. I have always wanted to be a mother, so I am already living life to the fullest!!

Hi Tania, and welcome to VST. Congrats on your surgery, and I look forward to following your progress.

My husband is Air Force, and we're stationed at Hurlburt Field, FL. I write poetry as well, and have 1 son, Caysen, who is 11 years old.

Welcome Tania,

I too love my children. My dream was to always become a mother.

Welcome to the vsg family.
