Hi folks,

Relatively new here, but thrilled to see support for glbt folks. i post to the obesity help vsg forum a lot but have hesitated to come out to anyone so haven't yet.

i'm ann, i live in arlington, va with my partner of 30 years (in november!) whose name is also ann (i know!) and our two kitties -- no kids.

i'm excited to finally almost be at the ins submission stage and hopeful that things will got thru!!!

i'd love to hear from other friendly folks. everyone is so nice here!!!

do you find issues related to your glbt-hood and the forum or reaction from friends???

Hi Everyone!! Just checking in.. Queens NY , no pun intended

52 yo.. Sleeved August 2014 .. HW 255..current weight 138... Dr Holover with NY Bariatric group..surgery at at Mercy Medical

the year has flown by..i am happy and most importantly HEALTHY..It was the best decision of my life and yes.. I wish i had done it sooner..

With my wife for 31 years..she was very hesitant about the surgery at first, cause well...ITS SURGERY...but she tells me that she sees that i am happier and we are much more active.

Hey, new here. Just been kind of observing. All the stuff I have been reading has been very encouraging. I'm to be "sleeved" on April 28th. I'm anxious, excited, and scared. I'm ready to start a new chapter in my life! ????

Hi bobbyy! How did things go?

Howdy to all of the new folks that have found the group! I am about 6 months out and doing great. The goal my doc and I agreed upon is only 40 lbs away and I couldn't be happier. If I can help any of the new folks in anyway please don't hesitate to ask. This site/forum has been a great resource for me so if I can help/support someone else that would be great. I certainly don't have all the answers and I am still fairly new but I will do what I can to support my WLS peeps! :-)

Hi! I'm Art. I just got my sleeve on 10/14. Been doing great, so far. Looks like you're about year ahead of me.

I hope all is well with you!
