I have been reading since last Wednesday but haven't posted, I am coming out of hiding. So today I finish all my surgeons requirements for surgery. I had my appt with her last Wednesday, because of the holiday and her only being in the office on Monday and Wednesday's the paperwork should be submitted to my insurance this coming Wednesday. I plan on calling my insurance company on Thursday I am so excited and nervous all at the same time! I am hoping to get my surgery the first week of January, new year = new me! Little about me. I am almost 30 with a husband and 2 young kids. I have been overweight since having my first child 5.5 years ago and no matter what I do I can't seem to get past 20-30lbs lost and it always comes back....with friends. I can't wait to feel good in my skin again and to be able to run with the kids

Hello m2l!! Welcome to the VST family! I'm so glad you posted. I always try to encourage folks out of hiding. This place is a wonderful forum to find all the information you need on the Sleeve, to read outstanding success stories, and to support those that are in need.

Your story is very similar to many here. Especially the regaining with friends... :'(
