Hi everyone! I've been a "lurker" for a couple months reading everything I can about the sleeve journey. This is my first "real" post. My surgery is scheduled for April 2nd and I'm both excited and terrified, all at the same time. I've been over weight my entire adult life, and most of my family is overweight and suffer from a variety of weight related health issues. I have sleep apnea, high blood pressure and have been doing what I refer to as the "pre-diabetes dance" for the last year or so with my rising and falling A1C. I am so excited for what lies ahead of me, and so encouraged by all the positive stories others have shared.

Dear Annie,

I've been a "lurker" too and as surgery date is fast approaching decided to get on board with the program. I feel exactly the same way and have read everything and anything there is out there- overloaded and overwhelmed now:). I wish you the best and will be looking forward to your posts...

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!

      Today was rough...
      I've been experiencing a headache all day today that just won't go away. I'm thinking it's now progressing into a migraine. Does anyone else get headaches from taking vitamin B12? I did some research and learned that usually a lack of B12 causes headaches. But I've noticed when I take it, I have reoccurring headaches. 😫
