I came to the conclusion I would always be overweight, until my friend came back from Mexico and told me what she did. A light at the end of the tunnel I thought. I had the sleeve done and it changed my life, it changed everything! I now see myself the way my husband sees me,the way he has always seen me. I couldn't believe anyone would be attracted to someone who weighed 266 at my highest,but now for the first time I see what he is talking about. I got my life back and I am forever grateful! My journey is not done yet but I am so excited to finally not fail!
