Well my first thought is how did I get here? Then I think maybe it doesn't matter....I'm here.
I am 28 years old. My DH and I are the blessed parents of a beautiful 7 year old son.
I have been struggling with my weight about half my life.(Although my weight didn't spiral out of control until about 6-7 years ago).I have fibromyalgia, which I was diagnosed with about 2 years ago. Because of my weight and the fibromyalgia I live in my own misery. What makes my days are my family. With out them I just don't know.
I began looking into WLS about 1 year ago and have been actively pursuing it these last 7 months. I had to take a 6 month course of 24 classes before I could have the surgery. During those 6 months I knew I did not want the RNY so I was basically hoping for the lap band. Well the day I met with my surgeon my mind was changed. We decided on the "sleeve". Since that day I have pretty much been on this site constantly. I am glad to be here and hear/listen to everyone's personal stories/struggles. They make me feel not so alone.
My big day is September 22nd. I can't wait....I will be updating my posts as I can.
May God Bless Us All!!!! Warm Wishes To All!!! Jessica
