Hi! I'm JenRae and I am new to the site. I wanted a place to be able to track my thoughts and feelings as I go through my journey as well as get feedback from others who have been where I am now. I've been to the WLS seminar and I just had my first appointment with the surgeon who said I am a good candidate for the sleeve surgery. The only concern he had was that I have acid reflux and he said that it can sometimes get worse after surgery. So I do have to have an upper GI soon. I really liked him. I had a ton of questions for him and he patiently answered them all. He and his staff both seem to be very nice. I weigh 250 lbs and my goal healthy weight for my height is around 150. So 100 lbs to lose! Tomorrow is my appointment with the counselor. And I have a nutrition class scheduled on September 6th. Doc said it could be as early as only 2 months before the surgery. Wow! So maybe an October 2016 surgery date? Looking for encouragement and friends as I embark on my sleeve journey! Thanks for reading, Jenny
