Hi Everone! Thanks for sharing! I am just getting started, finding a surgeon in Mexico and getting approved.
I am wanting the sleeve. I have high cholesterol( over 400 gasp! and cannot take statins) , sleep apnea, depression, mild incontinence, low thyroid, and a small frame. I am 190 lbs and 5'3", just turned 54.
I have struggled with weight since childhood, with a reprieve in my teen years. Was able to loose with protein shakes for several years, then had a hysterectomy, then thyroid dropped. Now at highest weight and very tired. I can feel that doing shakes is not going to work like it did before. My body shape and process has changed. I look like a stranger in the mirror...but it is still me. I am okay how I am but not healthy. People are cruel and judgmental, but that alone would not induce me to do this. I have made some serious decisions about company I keep since weight gain. It reveals a lot about people's character , what they say to me or not. Some are more loving than I realized and others ..well I believe we all understand what I am referencing.
Keeping Alive is my motivation to move forward and the ability to be as physically fit as possible.
I am willing to make a total life change, as I did this before and was happy with it. Things changed after the hysterectomy.
I want to become and stay as healthy as possible, as my beloved husband has Parkinson's and I will be his caregiver for life ❤️.
I am looking for candid and full spectrum information about people's experience. Fully aware is fully equipped.
Thanks for my turn at the microphone. I am honored to be included with the strong and the brave!
