New girl ready for a new life.

  • Popular Post

Good morning,

I am so glad I found this forum. I'm new here and have already been encouraged by the things I've read.

Hi, my name is Melissa. I'm a single mom to three amazing kiddos, ages: 18 (girl), 14 (girl), and 7(boy).

I have a great education, a great job, and great kiddos - it's time for me to be in great health.

The gastric sleeve seems like a good tool to get me started.

Thank you all for your encouragement. I hope to give you the same in return.

I'm ready to let my outside reflect who I am inside.
