buses\u2026.having a minute to myself is impossible.&nbsp; All of this followed by a day of meetings and work only to get home, cook dinner, get the kids homework done, extra curricular activities and the list goes on!!!!&nbsp; I wanted so bad to be more healthy and energetic for my kids and the best way to do that is with a healthier lifestyle so like many I tried my best over and over to get to the gym as often as possible\u2026\u2026which is impossible when you are taking care of so many other people.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I turned to Dr. Lavin for information on the gastric sleeve.&nbsp; I was not \u201cgrossly obese\u201d and I thought this surgery wasn\u2019t for someone like me but I was so wrong.&nbsp; This surgery has been life changing for me.&nbsp; I am full of energy and have more fun running errands and taking care of my kids more than I ever have \u2013 not to mention beach trips and getting on and off rides at Disney World have become more exciting and easier.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I would now doubt recommend this to anyone who struggles with maintaining a healthy lifestyle.&nbsp; This is not just a surgery for those very overweight \u2013 it\u2019s a surgery for moms like me who just can\u2019t do it all but want to so bad.&nbsp;&nbsp;The recovery time is so minimal \u2013 even moms can do it!!!&nbsp; My journey has just began with a weight loss of 24 pounds in 5 weeks and I cannot wait to see what the future holds.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Like most 30 something year old moms my mornings are filled with breakfast,
