I have been struggling with my weight for over half my life. I have been on every diet invented! I have lost weight but always gain in back, and then some. I am very nervous about my upcoming surgery but am also excited about the chance to loose weight and keep it off. My surgery is coming up in two weeks. I found this forum buy purchasing a book on the sleeve surgery and it mentioned this amazing platform. It is wonderful to have a site dedicated to weight loss surgery. I have no idea quite how to use the site yet, but I am here anyway doing my best.
