Hello!
I am Jami Lynn. I am 41, 5’7”, and currently hovering around 275. I live in Vancouver, WA, with my dreamboat of a husband and the world’s most cherished cat! I have a daughter in college, and I am so blessed to live the life I do.
I wanted to take a moment to say hello! I have been reading many of the posts here as part of my research into bariatric surgery, and I appreciate having access to such personal stories and experiences. I am at the end of what has been a 2-3 year long research phase into surgery options, and I have decided to have a gastric sleeve.
We all have our personal stories, and Lord knows I have mine. Battling my weight has always been a huge side plot in my story, and I can’t see how it will end well. I currently am dealing with osteoarthritis, a mild problem that has rapidly gotten worse over the past 6 months. I am standing in front of a door leading to diabetes and heart disease. And every other problem that can result from my obesity.
It is up to ME to take steps to end my journey towards morbid obesity once and for all. I want a long life. I want to be there for my loved ones. The reality of almost 30 years of dieting and overeating has finally hit home.
I can no longer afford to risk my health, my future, and my happiness. I am worth being the best version of me I can be!
So again, hello! Thanks for having me.
