HI

I just joined today....we are retired military living in texas - close to Fort Hood.....hoping to have Vertical Sleeve surgery in a month or so, been working on it for a month now, things are going pretty quick with few hiccups....only have about 4-5 people ahead of me scheduled for the surgery and i only have 2 more appointments to do....one is the psych eval and hopefully i can get that done on tuesday next week and one is the support group meeting wich is tommorrow......so hopefully things will keep going quickly.........

My daughter( who is now living in Germany) also has been sleeved in january and she has lost 95 pounds to date and i hope i can say the same in the near future.......Im 230 pounds Bmi of 40 and hoping to get to 140 - 150.......

well, i hope i make lots of friends and get lots of advice when my time comes...lol....and maybe i can be of some help to those who need it......Im still learning a lot as each day goes by.....
