Hi everyone I am 40 years old and decided to have weight loss surgery in January. I am currently going through my nutrition counseling, which I am on my 5th of 6 sessions. I am having the gastric sleeve because I suffer from lupus and take prednisone daily so this is the procedure that was best for me. I have the support of my loving husband, kids, and close friends. I'm looking forward to sharing my progress and reading about everyone else's journey.

Welcome! This is a great place to meet folks who are either going through the same thing you are or have already been down the road...I fall into the first category...just getting started!

Hello transformation I to suffer with lupus along with other things I to am on the journey to get the sleeve by the end of Nov no later then the end of year hopeful. And I too am new to this site and I wish you well on your journey in keep us posted on your on it

Nice to meet both of you, I found out about this site from looking at a fellow sleevers video journal on you tube. I didn't know what to expect, but everyone is so open
