I am planning on having the sleeve done in mid January. I am hoping around Jan 18 which is my 30th birthday. I have been morbidly obese most of my life and overweight since 2nd grade. I have no idea what life is going to be like but I am excited to live it.

I am looking forward to being in a relationship and not question how/why he is attracted to me. To having children and being able to play with them like my parents couldn't play with me. I want to hike, swim, dance and move through life without being self conscious.

I am so glad I found these forums and I can't wait to make my 30's rule!

You go girl!!!!!! Welcome!

Thank you! I am so excited, albeit a little nervous, but mostly excited!

Good for you!! You'll have a much happier, healthier life with the sleeve!

Way to go,,congrats..and great attitude!

What an excellent way to Celebrate a birthday. All excellent reasons for the sleeve. Echoing another posters sentiments....your great attitude will get you far.

Your journey has begun, make the most of it. Cheering for your future success.

Wishing you the best of luck!!
