Hi I've been reading here for quite some time. But this is my first post. My surgery date is February 17th 2015 and I must say I am very excited but also very nervous. I start my pre op diet on February 3rd. My highest weight is 336 my current weight is 295. My brother had the sleeve September 2nd and had many complications. I feel I really need to do this for myself as I have many medical problems due to my weight. I'm diabetic have high blood pressure, high cholesterol and fibromyalgia. Oh yeah also I'm 44 years old. Anyway that's pretty much my story I very much appreciated reading all the stories on here and felt it was probably time to share. I want to say thank you for the people that post all their positive experiences, it has truly helped me try to stay positive during this whole process.
