THANKS everyone for coming together here and supporting me and each other. I have found so much useful information here. Starting at a lower BMI, I faced some negative reactions to this surgery (i also dont flaunt having sleep apnea and PCOS) and your encouragement and same stories makes me know this was the right choice. So Thank you all.

I feel the same way.....

I know, this community is awesome..

Glad you posted a picture! It's nice to put faces with "names".

Some day I will post of picture of myself. Just need to take them. I am always procrastinating about everything these days. I love everyone on this site! We all Rock!

meh- thats not my picture anyway...

JK!

Ditto on the thanks for the support. I could not have made the decision to have my sleeve without reading so much valuable, sincere and honest information that everyone here has posted.

I'm now 4 days post-op and doing great. I'm at my hotel (been here since Wed!) and getting ready to fly home to Toronto tomorrow to see my wonderful hubby. Skype is great, but no substitute for his loving arms!

Can't wait until I actually start to eat (mushies are better than nothing!) in about 2 weeks!

Thanks lisssa

I love this place too. I'm not on here as often anymore, but I really do love the sense of community here. It's rare for internet forums to be this friendly and nonjudgmental.
