Hi, my name is Samantha I'm 46 year old mother of a four year old little boy named Jackson. I have been overweight my whole adult life. I decided to do the gastric sleeve and am working my way to that goal.

I have already been to 2 seminars and my surgeon consult where my pre surgery goal weight loss was 18 lbs. I have already lost 8 lbs so down to 10 more to go..

My nutrition class is July 8th at Kaiser South in Sacramento and plan to be as close to goal as possible so I can get all my other appointments scheduled.

I'm just looking and learning right now and want to thank you all for your help in advance. ..

Quick update. At my goal weight have psychologist appointment August 4th so hopefully a late August early September surgery date!!!!
