Hey everyone!

I just wanted to start a thread to introduce myself, but also to hear from other members who might be new to VSG and updates on the progress of those "veteran sleevers". I'd love to hear from all of you! It's such great inspiration to hear your stories, especially since we're all in our twenties.

I am 22 yrs old and scheduled for my surgery on March 15th. (8 more days!) I'm super excited, but of course nervous about the potential for complications. It's been a whirlwind of emotions - as I'm sure you've all experienced. I love knowing that others have been in my exact shoes headed toward a healthier life!

I weigh 276 lbs now and have a goal weight of 160. It's really hard to image I will ever get down to that size because I've been huge my whole life. Regardless, I'm hella excited for the possibility to finally have control over my biggest and most public problem: my weight.

Looking forward to hearing for you

Hey,

I'm new myself. I'm getting sleeved the same day as you. It's so exciting and scary at the same time right? But I'm just ready to get it over with and start losing. Are you on a pre-op diet?

Sleeve buddy! March 15th can't come soon enough! I agree, it has been a whirlwind of emotions these last couple of weeks. I only have to do a pre-op liquid diet the day before my surgery, so I don't have to bad at all. How about you?

6 more days!
