So I have been back and forth for over three years with WLS. This past year has been draining for me. My father was ill, started a new job, lost my dad to Cancer, lost my job three weeks after my dad past, was unemployed for five months. I have done for many people and always put others before me and supported whatever they felt was important.

I am 5ft and 249lbs. I have made the decision to have the sleeve on Jan. 5, 2015 it's time to do ME!

I just got my surgery date so I am only tell those that are close to me. Some reactions made me smile and know they will be there. Only two people who I am closest to think I should not have the surgery. Well guess what I am so ready for this that all though it upsets me that they can't see or feel how important it is for me. I will not allow it to rain on my parade! Get ready 2015 I am going to own you LOL!! ????#timeforjune

Love the post. You are doing great and you sound so focused. Go you....

I'm sorry 2014 has been so difficult for you. But: new year, new you. Sounds like you're ready! Good luck.

What a wonderful way to bring in the New Year! Congrats on a powerful positive life changing decision!

Stay positive and keep hanging out with us for support.

Thanks everyone it's OUR turn! ????

You will love it I wish I would have done it 2 years prior., I was 250 then worked out and did WW for a year lost 50 then gained it all back plus 30. I was so happy when I finally made the choice to do this as I have lost 26 lbs and cant wait to keep on loosing. Good luck
