Hi all,

My name is Aliese and I just joined the VST site yesterday. I am about to embark on a new journey. An attempt at becoming a healthier me! I won't bore you with a bunch of details about my health issues but let me just say, that I think this is the right step for me. I am in the Pre-Op phase of getting the Gastric Sleeve. I'm on day 2 of my 5 day liquid diet. My surgery is scheduled for June 13, 2013 with Dr. Tiesenga, out of The Chicago Center for Bariatric Surgery.

So far I am experiencing headaches and it's probably from the low caloric intake. I am diabetic, so my sugar normally runs high (around 120 fasting) but this morning it was 82. Now that may be in the normal range but my body has gotten use to running on the high end, so I suspect that is why I'm having the headaches. I hope it will subside soon. I now have to be more diligent about taking or not taking my medication and getting my sugar levels while I undergo this transformation. This will be a whole new world for me.

I plan to utilize this website to the fullest and I hope to meet new and interesting people that can offer me some support and guidance. Well, that's all for now. I will check back in after I have my surgery!

A New Me,

Aliese

Glad you are making the move. We cant wait to welcome you to the loser's bench
