Last year on my 45th Birthday (November 4) I told myself it was time to make a major change in my life. For 23 years I've not liked what I've seen in the mirror so I decided to make a change. After a lot of research I chose to chose to be "sleeved". I just got my surgery date and its November 13th! I'm so hyped and ready to do this. In order to encourage my kids I often tell them a year will pass regardless of what you do but where you'll be at the end of that year is up to you. I choose to be a thinner, healthier me.

Love this, thanks for sharing! Good luck.

@@sisterslim you have such a positive attitude. I know you'll be successful in your journey. Best wishes to you.

I just celebrated my 42nd birthday and just like you I've decided to do this! This coming year is for ME! I'm going to a surgery seminar on 11/11 and will have to do 6 months of supervised diet, but I know it will go quickly and by next year at this time I will have lost alot already! I look forward to hearing about and seeing your transformation.

Congrats- you're getting sleeved a day before my birthday. My surgery date is 11/25 a late birthday gift to myself. My bday is 11/14
