Hello all, Long time reader. My story....I decided to get wls in the beginning of 2017. I've thought about it before but never looked into it. Just like alot of people have heard the bad things of wls, I heard the same. I decided on the sleeve in Feb because from what I learned it's a more gradual weight loss process. I'm ready for the lifestyle change. I chose to do the multi supervision process for 3 months with my pcp and dietitian. I started my process this month July so two more months to go. I've learned alot from reading the posts on this site along with watching a bunch of YouTube videos. My bmi is over 50 and I have type 2 diabetes and high blood pressure. My surgeon stated that after the surgery I could still be on my medication. I'm positive that might change as long as I stick to plan. I've learned so much in this journey and I know there is still a long road ahead but I'm up for it. Even on my bad days I try to stay positive. Not only am I on this journey to better myself but my family is too. I have a great support in my kids and their dad. I've only told a few people at work and my mom and sister. They all support me and are rooting for me. They understand why I need this life changing tool. I'm ready to be even more active than I already am. One thing learned since I started this process is that I have to stop being afraid to sweat. I'm finding out that I do like working out just about everyday even if only for 20 mins. Building up that sweat and seeing progress makes me smile. Thanks for all who took the time to read my story.
