A bit about me

[Prettieface]

Hello I'm new here and I'm meeting with my surgeon on Wed for my date...I've met all requirements made all the appointments and did every test... I'm so nervous excited scared and anxious but most of all I'm tired..tired of hearing you're "pretty for a big girl" I'm tired of being a 31yr old new mom with a one year old son but I have to deal with being a diabetic with high blood pressure. I made my choice to live when my son was 6wks old I had sooooo many complications from being overweight in my pregnancy I almost lost him but back when he was 6wks my mom passed away from complications of being a diabetic with high blood pressure. And seeing my beautiful mom in a casket at 64yrs old made me realize that I have to do whatever I can to not have this be my fate and to be the full mom that my son deserves...so with that I'm praying for a healthier lifestyle after my sleeve

You can do this! My son was my inspiration as well. Being a single mother, I knew I was all he had. I knew I had to do whatever possible to ensure that I am here for him as long as possible. I have lost about 70 pounds so far. Even though I have a long way to go, I already feel so much healthier! I wish you all the best!!
