I know my journey has just started, but I love getting up each morning and feeling a little lighter. I have a ways to go still, but I really do wish I would have done this sooner. I'm 51 years old and feel like I lost all those years with being Plus sized. (Most my Life) I know people say "it's what's inside that counts". but when you don't feel good about yourself, the inside dosen't matter much. I have to admit when I first heard it was Mexico, I was a little worried. Then when you get there and find out how wonderful they treat you and how professional they are. You will be glad you did this too.. The Hotel was very nice and time just went by so quickly, I was back home and back to work in no time. in fact I had surgery on thrusday and was back to work on Monday.. Now, I'm taking my daughter to get her Sleeved too. (at her request, not mine)
