Hello,

My name is Stephanie, I am from San Jose, CA and I am officially one week away from getting sleeved. I am in my mid-twenties and looking for sleevers in Northern California, although all support is welcome!

I am really anxious to get to the surgery date. The Optifast diet has been challenging, especially at work. Every time you look around someone is having a birthday cake!

Anyways, I am getting sleeved two days before my birthday; I couldn't think of a better gift for myself!

Thank you all for your candidness and the support you post on this site! It has definitely helped me throughout this entire process.

Hi Stephanie! I'm up in Elk Grove, CA (south of Sacramento) I'm 6 weeks out from surgery and have to say this is the best thing I have ever done for myself. To quote another very smart fella on here the surgery protects me from myself!!

AND for your birthday! What a great present!

Feel free to ask anything, and read all these sites. Lots and lots of good information.

Welcome!!

Vicki
