I'm starting my sleeve journey May 30 2016 with my preop diet and surgery is schedule for jun 8 2016 ,I've been overweight the majority of my life and am finally ready to be comfortable in my skin again. I'll be a self pay using bariatricpal in Mexico so everything is moving very quickly for me.

I had learned the differences between the band, the sleeve, and the bypass and opted for the sleeve. I felt the sleeve would be the safest bet for me.

I'm currently at 200 and my goal weight is 110. I'm so ready for this journey! I'll be updating my journal along the way. If you'll be having your surgery in June please let me know so we can support each other!

I'll be sure to post throughout my procedure and will check in with progress .
