I decided to start my blog today with my story and how I ended up here. rather than repost my story here I wanted to invite you to read my blog if you like. I am looking forward to starting my journey with the sleeve on 4/28

I have also been considering starting a vlog on youtube... To vlog or not to vlog.. Thoughts?

I think vlogs are really helpful for people who are considering weight loss surgery and those who have decided to have surgery but are still pre-op. Other than Tiffany's, I haven't really watched any since I was about a week post-op, but I know they really helped me to understand what I would be going through and gave me some inspiration in seeing the kind of change that could possibly be me one day! I think, in particular, that VSG vlogs are great because there are not as many of them out there (as opposed to the band, or RNY)! I think it's a great idea.

I wish you much luck with the sleeve.

Alright I made my first vlog today on youtube. Just a short one to start with--Subcribe if you would like to track my progress with me!

Thanks!

Awesome! Thanks for posting! Best of luck to you!!! Won't be long now!

Good luck with your surgery!! I'll be watching on YT. :-)

I say vlog!!! I just started vlogging on my private health blog. I may go public later but right now privacy is something I want. As a suggestion if this interests you, I keep my blogger blog private for invited readers only, and I use Vimeo for my videos. It is higher quality than YouTube with no time limit (but you do have to pay if you want that feature I think)... and it allows me to password protect my videos but still embed them in a site. So on my blog which is for my invited readers only, I post the video and provide the password. But anyone who would happen on my Vimeo account through my other public videos would never know these private videos exist.
