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.

WELCOME AND BEST WISHES ON YOUR JOURNEY

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.

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!
