my story...hmm...what can i say...?  well...long story short...ive been overweight all of my life.  i cant really say my weight has tormented me all my life to some MAJOR extreme, or atleast not as much as it has with others.  i dont really remember people teasing me over it.  im sure there were comments at one point or another but i dont really remember them affecting me much.  i dont know, i just hear about girls dropping out of school because of the teasing and stuff.  well im just happy that never happened to me.  one thing i can say, though, is that i do remember wanting to wear "cuter" clothes, wanting to shop at any store, wanting to feel like i "fit in" more.  

well this brings me to now.  despite the fact that i have always been overweight, i have gained about an additional 50 lbs in the past year.  ive lost weight in the past but i just cant keep the weight off...  i HAVE to do something about this.  i started thinking about WLS awhile back.  i guess i came to this website to see what else i can learn about it.  i look at peoples profiles constantly and i love to see what WLS has done for them.  now i want to see what it can do for me.  i know its not a miracle thing but i fully intend to put forth my own effort in order to succeed.  im really interested in the gastric sleeve.  i dont think gastric bypass is for me.  it just seems so much more invasive.  up until now the closest ive had to surgery is having my wisdom teeth pulled.  

well if anyone has any info they feel might help me PLEASE feel free to share.  i would greatly appreciate anything you have to say.
