Starting over, hope this works!

I see my surgeon on Friday, Jan. 16th. We are going to plan my date for Sleeve surgery. I had the Lap Band and it did not work for me. Too much discomfort from the port and my body does not like foreign objects in it. I had a lot of scar tissue wrapped around the band and its components. I have put on 25 lbs since its removal on July 29th. I am looking forward to this as I am ready for a change. I am newly married and my husband is a great support. This change will help out everyone in my family. I want more energy as I love to do so many different things and just too darn tired after work. I also sit in an office all day too! Everyone in my family is over weight with diabetes and HBP. I don't want to be living the way I see them living their lives. I have already started looking for a new job that will at least have me up and moving around.
