My Journey ✨
I have struggled with my weight since I became an adult. In 2022, I’ve had enough and began my journey to get the gastric sleeve. I had become pre diabetic, I couldn’t engage in fun activities, I was winded walking up steps, my self esteem was at an all time low. I got sleeved on November 7, 2022. It was the best decision I could have ever made for myself. Since then, I have lost over 150 pounds. I was able to get skin removal surgery as well. It has become my greatest success for myself. I finally put me first and have done the work to make the best version of myself physically, mentally and emotionally.
I will say one thing, and it’s the difference in how you’re treated after weight loss. I’m looked at. People are generally nicer and will make small talk now. It’s a shame how people are not given the same level of kindness because of weight. It’s something that I notice much more since my weight loss. I hope to always make people feel included, appreciated and cared about as it’s who they are as a person that matters most 🩷✨

Weight loss surgery, such as gastric sleeve, has become a popular solution for those struggling with obesity. It's essential for potential candidates to understand the process and expected outcomes. Post-surgery, lifestyle changes including diet and exercise play a crucial role in maintaining weight loss. Many individuals experience significant physical and emotional shifts after surgery, often leading to improved mental health and social experiences. Studies show that individuals may face stigma related to their weight, which can shift dramatically after significant weight loss. This often influences how they interact with others and how they're perceived socially. Creating awareness and promoting kindness towards individuals of all sizes can foster a more inclusive environment. For those considering this path, consulting with healthcare professionals is vital to assess risks and benefits. Support groups and community engagement can also provide encouragement and resources during the weight loss journey. Celebrate small wins and remember: your worth is not determined by your size! Embrace this journey and strive towards your best self.
