I am just starting my journey. I have been overweight most of my life. Not sure what happened because I started out this little petite thing. Then in about 2nd grade I started gaining. I was always the chunky kid even though I ate what my friends did and was active. I have tried every diet there is. I have been at 305lb and went down to 238lb. Well, now I'm back up to 295lb. I looked into getting gastric surgery in 2007. Well, I went through a divorce and didn't do it. I then met my wife. My wonderful wife and I have been together for 4 years and married for 3. We live in the country and have 2 dogs and 3 cats. We are angel moms and continue to pursue our dream of adding a human baby to our family. I have put on about 25 lb in 4 years. It is just slowly creeping back up. And I really need to take control of my life. I really think the sleeve is going to be my tool for my survival. I'm looking for support and as much information I can get. Good luck to all on your personal journeys!
