Hi everyone!

My name is Jamie and I am new here. I read this forum a lot prior to surgery but never registered. Thank you all for being so helpful with such a huge decision!

I am 36 and married with no children. I have a high level position with a national catering company and have been event planning for over ten years.

I had my surgery on May 11th.

I am posting all over this board today because I really want to get involved and grow a strong community of support.

I decided to start making youtube videos to document my journey.

This is my first one that explains what is happening and why I decided to get the sleeve

I cried too after watching that video . You are doing great and well done on the seat belt on the plane pic too

Wow! You are amazing and such an inspiration! Soooo enjoyed your videos.

Love the videos and genuine honesty about your journey. Congratualtions!! Loved the seat belt photo

Hugs

Wow, this left me speechless! I'm so sorry for what you went through. You truly have triumphed over adversity though and you should be incredibly proud of yourself. Inspiring as ever xx
