Thought its time to invade some privacy, so i'm opening bearded's room door...:thumbup:

Fresh male here, saying hello to all. Wish there was a simple "introduce urself"section. I find "tell ur story"too dramatic hehe...no story to tell, just hoping I did the right choice.

Hi Burnout,

I'm not a male but, welcome to the forum. Have you had surgery yet? If so how are you doing? You will find alot of support here. Judy

Send a message to Susan. I am sure she can make that section for you.

Congratulations! You did make the right choice.

Hi ladies and thanks for the welcome.

Yes I got sleeved on the 17th of july. As you have probably figured, I'm still in the full liquids stage.

I'm still not pain free, but I do sense it gets a little better everyday. Going back to work in less than a week and REALLY hoping these cramps and aches will vanish soon enough.

Hey BuRnOuT, welcome to our forums! You should be feeling much better next week. Who did your surgery?

Yo Burnout!!

Like welcome dude!

That being said hells bells just let er rip tell what you want dont tell what you want. Just let us know a little about you...

HAVE a good one...

Welcome Burnout ... I'm Bearded's (better) other half ... you're still pretty fresh from surgery, so just take it easy and let your body heal. Keep us posted on your progress.

Hi susan, bearded m8 and angel, his better half :ohmy: very happy to meet u all, I wasnt expecting such a nice welcome.

I will surely update u on how things go. By the way, I live far away...the other side of this planet, but was drawn to this place cos I've been reading a lot of what everyone had to say...including the VSG section on the lapband forum. Your stories played a major role in the decision to get sleeved. God bless

BURNOUT---where on the other side of the world!!

This is a good group lots of woman (big evil smile) and a few good men. Kind of like it that way---more to choose from, I am bad.

You are most welcome here and we look forward to communicating with you.:ohmy:

Welcome Burnout!!

And congrats on your surgery! Of course we all think you made the right decision!:thumbup:

Good luck and keep us posted on your success!!

Hey burn....was glad to see this men's site and also glad to find some men posted as I've mostly found female VSG patients on some other sites.

I had my VSG July 28 and feel awesome. No pain, no nausea, no nothing. I feel really lucky. Was 345 at my highest and just yesterday dropped below 300 (I didn't think it was ever going to happen).

Just wanted to say hi and hope we can talk some time.
