How are things going for you now?

I've lost 40 lbs. Better but not where I need to be, started at 334 so it's still a ways to go. Hopeful that by summer I'll be unstoppable!!!!

I have been fat all my life... Turning 30 just made me realize, I need to break the trend.... Sick and tired of living in size 18 jeans, when will I ever wear pretty clothes?!??? I wanna be athletic, I wanna run, run like the wind....

I have a major inferiority complex because of my weight, I want my confidence... I wanna feel good about myself...

What an excellent question!! For me, it was working out like crazy and watching the weight come off. I even shopped for new clothes because I had come down from a 22 to a 18. Then, my injuries from my Army days came to bite me. Knees were so swollen I had to get cortisone injections in both. My right ankle has scar tissue from surgery in 2007. That called for a cortisone injection in that too. So, I decided to do Water aerobics. That worked great until the chlorine was clogging up my sinuses. I felt so defeated and tired. I have struggled with my weight since I got on the depo shot (birth control) while on active duty. A coworker had the sleeve done in 2013 and she looks great. After all of the surgeries I've had for service connected injuries, I did not want another one. However, I can't do it alone and my body won't cooperate with the workouts so I need the help. Therefore, I began the process in October and now awaiting insurance approval. Oh, I left out I have high blood pressure, prediabetic, and my joints are killing me!! ???????? I'm looking forward to putting in the work to make this tool get me back in the shape I used to be in. ????????

I have been overweight all my life. At aged 26, I know so many people (younger siblings included) who have had the gastric sleeve surgery and went on to live normally. Not only am I morbdily obese but I have also reached a weight where if I try to exercise, I injure myself. In addition to the fact that my back hurts, my knee hurts, and I am borderline diabetic and prone to cholestrol problems. I have tried countless times to lose weight and it works! ...Until I gain it all back again and then some. Certain seats don't fit anymore, forget about airplane seats. Haven't been shopping for years because I'm in denial about it. I know the sleeve is a tool, I am looking forward to start living a healthier lifestyle.

I took my child to a birthday party at Chuckie cheese and a child at the party was walking past me and stopped to say "You are fat, you are faaaat!" with her little arms spread wide like she was hugging a wall. It really didn't hurt my feelings but it turned on my light and had me saying to myself WOW you have never seen this child before and they took the time to be honest about what they saw, but you see yourself everyday in the mirror and you constantly lie to yourself about what you see.
