Gastric Sleeve Surgery :: Why I Chose Weight Loss Surgery 

I'm just starting my journey. Thank you so much for sharing your experiences. I'm scared but I know it's the right thing for me. ❤️🥰❤️

Hi Mariah, I’m looking into surgery and want to say THANK YOU for posting this video! Yours is the first I found when looking for pre op videos that aren’t about the pre op diet. I was looking for a video about concerns and reasons and this is it. This video really hits home. I’m a lot older (43) and have dealt with being overweight, eating disorders, hypothyroidism, and dieting my entire life. I’m in Logan UT so not far from where you went to college. I understand it being hard/uncomfortable to hold babies. I also love working with horses and have 5 mustangs that I have a hard time training and can’t ride due to my weight and that’s something I really want to be able to do. I was only able to have 1 child myself whose now 21 but adopted twins at birth that are now 11. It’s hard to keep up with them and I can’t do all the fun things I wish I could do with them like camping because of my darn CPAP machine. While I know having surgery will be life changing in a good way, it’s also very scary. I’ve never had surgery or spent time in a hospital aside from the birth of my one biological child. I have such an unhealthy relationship with food and the thought of not being able to eat the things I live and go to for comfort is scary. I have my first telegraphy appt with a bariatric surgeon in SLC today. I really look forward to watching your other videos. ❤
