My story is like many others, when I was in high school I was a thin cheerleader and in every sport I could be in. Very active and ate everything I wanted to. THEN IT HAPPENED! I graduated! Then my weight started to become an issue. I was used to eating lots of food and never had to worry about it. Now, it's a different story. After my two sons were born I even gained more weight. For the last 8+ years I've struggled. The surgery I'm having is the Vertical Sleeve because I feel it fits my lifestyle the best.
