Hello there! My name is, Jennifer AKA Jenny. All my life I have struggled to lose weight and maintain a healthy lifestyle. I had gone to the Dr. Today, and I told him I really want to get the gastric sleeve. The thing with my Dr. Is he want me to help myself lose weight and eat healthy first! This is like takong baby steps and walking and learning everything! What makes me motivated is that he doesn't just hand me a piece of paper stating I go get surgery. He is helping me start off positive and changing my life and eating healthy and exercise more. This is not simple for me at all... But, I must push past my fears and go for it! Once I get this accomplished in losing the 40 to 50 pounds he will then know I could do this! I owe him 15 pounds he told me. He wants me to be successful and keep pushing forward. I am grateful that someone cares about my health and what I am eating!
