Hi everyone
My name is Debbie and I am British but now living in Dubai. I am scheduled for a gastric sleeve and gall bladder removal on 9th March in the American Hospital in Dubai.
I am 287 lbs as of today and have about 120 lbs to loose. I have been on the lose weight/gain weight merry-go-around since I was 16 - now 43 and time to do something about this.
My gall bladder surgery is on insurance and the sleeve may be, if not I will pay for it myself anyway as i've decided that this is my year and it's time to put me first !
Take Care
Debbie
