I am a 38 year old female from "The South" (US). I have tried every diet known to man and nothing has ever worked. I have been exercising 2 - 3 hours, 6 days a week at the gym (cardio and weight training) for almost 3 years now. I can only imagine what I would have weighed if I hadn't started that in 2004. I have lost very little weight - a few inches - but very little weight. I proved to myself that A LOT of it has to do with my food and excersice really isn't helping me reach my true goals that much. I am scheduled for the gastric sleeve on Monday, March 19, 2007. I was set on the Lap Band but my surgeon is really recommending the sleeve so I switched to that last week. SO not very much time to research the procedure really well. If anyone has any tips or advice, I could sure use it. I have two little girls (ages 6 and 3) and a great "normal weight" husband that is trying to be supportive but just doesn't "get it". I kind of feel like I am out here all alone even though my sister had her stomach stapled back in 1986. She had good results and plans to eat my diet with me to help her lose her last 30 lbs. Wish me luck!
