Hi everybody i havent had my sleeve yet im scheduled for july 16 i have always been overweight the way my parents would reward us was taking us out to eat where ever we wanted to go plates were never empty icecream cups always full thats just the way we were raised dont get me wrong im not totally blaming my parents but it was normal for my family to always eat

Growing up around me my siblings we were all overweight but our friends were not i was bullied in school and at home even by my own family i hated going to school had no friends of my own but i got through it somehow in my teens i started to have a real good relationship with both my parents i got married to a wonderful and loving man who supported me no matter what

Than a few years ago i lost both my parents just a few weeks apart that was the hardest thing i ever had to go through ...with my siblings it was so much fighting and i have cut ties with them i found comfort in my food and again my husband supported me throughout all of this drama today i weigh 300 pounds and struggle to keep up with my kids the reason y i chose th do the sleeve cause what my parents did to me im doing to them so im taking a big step in my journey in hopes of having a healthier life for me and my family i cant wait to take this step

thank u to anyone who will be a support to me and any advice will be greatly appreciated

Thank u for taking time reading my post

Congratulations on making the decision to improve your life! I was sleeved on 6/30/15. So far, so good. It's not easy, but it is definitely worth it. You'll have to jump throught lots of hoops to have your surgery, but just keep focused and it will all work out. Good luck on your journey
