Hi everyone. I stumbled across this site and thought it might be a good place for me to talk with others who are going through the same things. I am 30yrs old, I have 3 children and I have been overweight for as long as I can remember. Now that we are finished having babies I made the decision to finally do something for myself rather than for everyone else. I began the process back at the first of the year and should be scheduled for surgery around mid April. I look forward to hearing from others. :)

Welcome! I am a 37 year old mom of three young boys and my story is very similar to yours. Now that this body is done making babes, it's time to get it back!!! Surgery is scheduled for 3/4/14. Best of luck to you! I have learned sooooo much here and I'm sure you will too!

Won't be long for you! Good luck! I'm hoping with all the remaining small things left to do that the next 2 months go by quickly. How old are your boys? My girls are 5 and the twins just turned 2 last month.

I'm 39 year old and have one 15 year old son and have been thinking about doing this surgery for at least two years. Both my parents are type 1 diabetic with high blood pressure and heart problems too. I refuse to be in the same boat in 20 years! I'm scheduled for surgery two weeks from tomorrow!!!

Welcome Casie! I will be sleeved March 24th and We have 3 young adult children ages 19, 21, & 22. Shop is closed for children and now working on reinventing /rediscovering me. I gave so much to my hubby of 23 years and our beautiful children that I lost myself. My weight continued to climb and before u know it here I stand at my highest weight ever. I couldn't be more excited about starting my weight loss journey as a sleever. I must admit I'm equally scared but definitely ready to proceed. Best of luck on ur WLS journey and stay in touch.

Welcome! The decision to have weight loss surgery, the sleeve was the best decision I have EVER made. I was sleeved four months ago, October 7, 2013 and since surgery date I am down 90 pounds. I feel great and boy oh boy will you once you have your WLS. Amazing choice with no regrets what so ever! Wishing you the best! Please keep us updated!

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!
