Downsized--(In a year) I hope I'm about half the woman I didn't want to be
At age 41, I decided that I could be fat no more. I'd tried every diet known to man, and I can lose weight, I just can't keep it off. After a particularly humiliating doctors appointment I finally decided I had enough. I started researching paying cash for WLS and discovered Dr Almanza. I had just done my tax return, and realized that with that amount, plus a little more, I could pay CASH for my surgery. Since we committed to not borrowing money ever again when we took the Dave Ramsey class, I knew that a loan was out of the question. I have the most supportive DH in the world and he was all for it. It was a whirwind few days where I researched, talked to family members, then committed to having a sleeve gastrectomy on June 5 in Tijuana, Mexico with Dr Mario Almanza. I am 100% confident and comfortable with my choice. Since making my decision I feel a little bit of peace that I didn't have before. I have a goal, and a plan to get there. Knowing that I won't be alone in the journey, that I'll have my family, friends, and gastricsleeve.com cohorts to help me reach the finish line that seems a little far away right now.
