Sleeved or not sleeved:
I have had a gastric sleeve.
Biography:
Hello. In my younger years, I was an outgoing and friendly person who loved the outdoors and was very sociable. The difference now is that I am still friendly but have not been outgoing or as sociable (for about 6 years now). Fast foward, I yo yo'd and tried many different diets. The worst that I've don't to myself was not eat for 1 week. I lost 20 pds, but by the last day, I could not stop vomiting. I was desperate to even consider not eating for as long as I could. The Psychological toll of weight gain, obesity discrimination, the ugly looks that some gave me (even from some family), and how rude some people were to me led me to consider to stop eating again. I tried and failed at so many diets, and became more and more depressed after every failed attempt. Although I am lucky to have the same man in my life, who met me when I was 140 pounds, this 100 pound weight gain has taken it's toll on this relationship. When I finally obtained health insurance on Nov 1, 2013, I had an appointment with a Bariatric surgean by the next day. It never occured to me that my new health insurance could actually cover my surgery. Now, with a BMI of 44 and a few co-morbities, I was approved and now I am about to start my new life as I am getting surgery on Feb. 26, 2014. Most of my traditional old school hispanic family does not approve, but I am doing what's best for me. My fiance does support me and this surgery, (thank goodness), and now I look forward to meeting new people that will also have a positive impact. I look forward to making new friends, whether online or in person, that can share our experiences with getting sleeved. Thank you for checking out my profile!
