As a person that didn’t rate shopping as even an “I’ll enjoy it if I have to” activity, I’ve found since surgery I think more about clothes and what I wear more than ever.

A change as big as undergoing Gastric Sleeve surgery impacts more than just the life of the one having surgery. Everyone around them finds it impacts them in one way or another.

They say the hardest part of any journey is the beginning. I think that’s only true because this journey doesn’t have cheese.
