Hi everyone!

My name is Leslie and I live in Cincinnati. I will be 32 in a few days. The biggest and best present I could ever have hoped for is my VSG which is scheduled for July 12. I am soooo excited. I have been overweight for as long as I can remember. Thankfully my husband has awesome insurance and they approved me right away. I had a BMI of 39 and no co-morbidites. However, my family history is terrible so it was only a matter of time I think.

Anyways, I just wanted to say hello! After years of lurking and wantin the surgery, finally my time has come too!

Blessings,

Leslie

Welcome!!! I hope that you will find, as I have, that there is more support and caring here than anywhere I could find! We (I selfishly added myself) really do care and am always willing to listen. Any concerns, fears, great or sad news, we want to hear it all. Together, we can get through!!

Once again, Welcome.

Congratulations Leslie on getting approved and having a surgery date scheduled! Two huge hurdles that are now behind you. You will find a lot of support and information on this Board so don't hesitate to jump in with questions when you have them! Keep us posted on your progress.

Congrats! and welcome to the community. I am relatively new here too, and just jay jump on it, all are welcome, lol

Hi,

You have taken right decision. Vertical sleeve surgery is right option to lose weight. You will never regain lost weight after surgery. You will have to take more protein in diet after surgery.
