My story.....well I havn't been overweight my whole life I have only been overweight for the past 10-11 years, since I've had my son. I have been married to my best friend for 13 years and he is my biggest supporter and my hugest fan and he is the best person I know. I have an 11 year old son who is the apple of my eye. I started yo-yo dieting right after my son was born, I did the medical weight loss and the weight watchers and even the doctor supervised diet with the diet pills and I would loose a little then gain back alot so about 3 years ago I decided the lap band would work for me and it did for about 30lbs. then I don't know if I got bored with it and wasn't seeing enough results but I then discovered I could eat all the same foods but chew more and eat slower and that was the end of the band. I spoke with my doctor and he gave me the other two options the sleeve or the gastric bypass and the bypass wasn't an option for me personally because I didn't want my insides re-routed and the dumping and sick feeling and I also know enough about myself to know that if there was a food that was completely off limits that would depress me and I would resent having the whole thing done. So for me the sleeve was my last ditch effort. I had my sleeve done May 16th, 2008 and two weeks out I had lost 16lbs and I go back this thursday for another post op. But let me tell you my post op has been fantastic!!!! I had hardly no pain, I was up walking the next day no problems, and I was back to work 4 days later but I don't have a physical job I have a desk job. So I am getting use to the new eating and feeling full fast but so far I am very satisfied and love my doctor and am looking forward to being healthier and riding on the back of my husbands motorcycle.
