  1. Hi! My name is Lisa and I am just starting out as well. On 8/18 I have my first appointment with the surgeon. I was surprised with all the things I need to do before, but I'm glad they take it seriously enough to have us go through it all. I don't have a lot people who understand my decision to do this, so I'm looking forward to speaking with others about it. Feel free to stay in touch! Best of luck on your journey.?
  2. I had my intake appointment on 7/31. My surgery is planned for November-December as long as I stay on task. I've struggled with my weight since 13 years old, now I'm 51 and still struggling. My PCP suggested the sleeve and I'm really excited. I have 2 teenagers graduating next year and I want to feel good! I'm tired of not being able to lose weight. No matter how hard I try, I can't lose more than 20 pounds. After my initial appointment I feel excited and positive. It's like I know that the end result will be life changing and I'm ready to begin my journey. I'm looking forward to meeting other pre-sleeve people and I wish everyone luck.
