Hi Everyone!

My name is Jennifer. I've been lurking for a while and reading some of the amazing info you all have.

I am 36 years old and a work from home mom. I have been obese all of my adult life. My highest weight was 310, and I now sit at 292 with a bmi of 47.

I decided to do WLS for my health, of course, and chose the sleeve over everything else after talking to my PCP, my surgeon, my MIL (an RN) and several people, including my mom, that have had various types of WLS from bypass to banding to Rou En Y (sp?)

I am so excited to start my journey and feel so blessed by the outpouring of support I've had regarding this.

I look forward to reading more from everyone!

Blessings!
