Introduction

Hello Everyone,

Ive been a lurker on this forum for a few months and decided to come out of the dark! Lol

I just started the process with alma at Ready4Achange and hope to be sleeved by Dr Garcia In November. A little about me, I'm 31, 5'5, and 180lbs. Im the "yoyo diet" queen and kinda over of it. Just looking at food makes me gain weight and lately, ive been looking quite a bit ;)

Last year I decided to have plastic surgery in Tijuana and had an amazing experience! And the thought of gaining any more weight (and ruining my surgery results) terrifies me. So, thats me in a nutshell. I look forward to learning from all.of u and sharing my postop story. By the way, if any of you have similar stats and were sleeved by Dr Garcia, I would love to hear about ur experience. My two biggest fears are

1. I will loose TOO MUCH weight. I know that sounds funny but I like my curves :) anything below 150lbs and I look like I'm sick.

2. I will loose weight too slowly since I have a low bmi.

    So you are going to be sleeved to lose 30 lbs? Or is this strictly a preventative step?

I appreciate everyones feedback! I totally agree with going through with this procedure when ur bmi is lower vs waiting until your weight goes up along with an increase in risk. Im 180 now but have gone upto 230 and I know I never want to go there again. That never feeling full feeling, I can totally relate.
