Recycled
Jan 15, 2017
I'm not new here, I guess I'm a recycle. 11 years ago, had a lap band, for 11 weeks , had my first fill, it closed my esophagus, after a week in the hospital, it was removed. Lost 11 lbs in 11 weeks, not huge, but for first time in my life, I felt full. Fast forward 11 years and add an extra 16 lbs to my 211 lbs, and I'm going for the sleeve. Private pay, surgery on 2/3/17, and I am more than a bit nervous.
I am on a " clean" diet, low carb, no soda, I am a nurse, and do have a busy life, raising my 11 yo grandson, work, family, and due to this extra fat, I have withdrawn from my friends, not feeling good about myself at this weight. No health issues, but cranky knees, and no "zest" when I look at the future. It is time.
I plan to continue lurking, so much helpful information here. Marian
