jonjonks reacted to cbd in Who am I?
Hi Jon. Good luck with your journey. I also talked to a lot of family, friends, coworkers that were supportive but deep down I don't know if they really understood this decision of mine. I did a lot of research, watch the surgery on youtube. As i went thru the process that my insurance and the weight loss program expected, I learned alot and was focused on getting approved. I was sleeved a little over two weeks ago. I feel good and still amazed that i eat because i need to eat. I loved food and was an emotional eater or a bored eater. I don't have that urge to eat everything now...I know I am still early out but it is amazing to look in the mirror and see the difference already. i am shooting for a healthier future...good luck!

Hey Jon - VSG is the single best decision I have made in my life! I am down 41 lbs since my first consult with my surgeon in November 2012. I was sleeved on January 3rd and have said goodbye to 25 lbs in less than a month. Each day I feel better and better. You've come to the right place for information and support. Welcome!

Not local, but hi! and Welcome!! This forum can be a huge source of information and support..... It has been a safe place to ask questions and to vent... I am still pre-op, scheduled for 2/13 and cannot believe the support I have received here! Several of us also use MyFitnessPal and have friended each other there... Just kinda of a nice push to receive little messages during your day encouraging you to keep up the good work!
Best of luck to you as you begin this journey!!
