My name is Temeka and I am abouts to have the gastric sleeve next month on November 19th. I am a little nervous, but excited.

I’ve been struggling with losing weight for the last 7 years and I am just fed up with trying everything and nothing truely working.

I have gained a lot of insight and knowledge from this website. I am currently 215lbs and my goal according to my BMI, I need to be 125lbs.

I am ready to start this new journey in life. I am married to a soilder so working out comes easy to me. It’s just that it wasn’t working. I do hip hop abs, Julian Micheals, and go on walks and jogs with my husband and two daughters. As well as accompany friends to workout classes.

I am 5″2. So being 215lbs is a lot of weight to be carrying around. I have high blood pressure and I have a sweet tooth. Diabetes run in my family and I do not want to get it.

I am going to school for nursing, so if I am going to be a nurse and am studying about the anatomy of the body and how it functions and works. with knowing all of this, I don’t want to be a overweight nurse.

Does anyone have any advice for me on my up coming surgery?

Thanks.

P.S. Sorry for the long message! lol
