Thanks everyone! Excited and nervous about this journey

Hi and welcome aboard too! I'm pre-surgery---scheduled for November 4th Gastric Sleeve. I am 5'7" by my drivers license but I guess I shrunk an inch because of age and weight, so I'm 5'6" by my surgeon's records. I'm currently at 240 lbs, having lost 5 lbs since I went to my first seminar Aug 11th. I had my EGD on Sept. 12th. I start my pre-op diet on Oct 24th. Super excited and ready to lose more weight!

Whereabouts are you from "hollisrn76"? I'm in Kansas and working with the Bariatric Center of Kansas City in Lenexa, KS.

Good luck to all, and I'm rooting for all of you to have successful surgeries, speedy recoveries, and the weight loss you desire!
