I've been reading for a couple weeks and thought I would introduce myself! My name is Teale and I am hoping to have the sleeve done in the next few months. I meet with the surgeon next week to get the ball rolling, and I'm following in my husband's footsteps, as he has already started the pre-op process (though he has to quit smoking before surgery, which is posing a challenge for him!). I'm thankful to find this great resource and look forward to taking this journey and sharing with all of you!
