I had the Gastric Sleeve weight loss surgery on January 22, 2020. It has been difficult learning my new stomach but it's the best decision I ever made. I had tried since puberty started to lose weight. When I was 17 I was diagnosed with PCOS and told that's why I couldn't lose weight. Still I continued to try every diet and every exercise regimen out there to no avail. This weight loss surgery was the hardest thing I've done in my life and it's definitely not the easy way out! Don't be afraid to take a chance on yourself and change your life, even if others don't support you! My highest weight: 293+. My surgery weight:277. My Current weight (2 1/2 months out): 229
