Hi everyone!

So I wanted to start the party with a little background about myself:

• Name: Dana
• Age: 19
• Favorite Color: Purple (at the moment)
• Favorite Food: Mac N' Cheese
• Favorite Music: Tie between pop and alt. rock

So I decided to go a different route with my intro because I feel we identify by our weight. Yes, it's a little silly to identify by your favorites, but I figured it was different than the norm.

I'm just beginning my WLS journey and I'm excited for it, but I have to remember to love myself as I am now, so that I can truly appreciate how I am after it all. But anyway, here is some info about my journey, so far:

• WLS Type: VSG (aka. Vertical Sleeve Gastrectomy)
• Height: 5'6"
• Weight: 264.4 ~ lbs.
• First Appt. w/ Surgeon: June 15th, 2015
• Surgery Date: TBD
• Level of Research Completed: 3000%... (My goal is 5000%)

So this is everything about me and my journey, so far. I just wanted to share this as a first step for myself and as an encouragement for others to join in.

Please feel free to report on your journey, give advice, ask questions, and commune with all of us who are feeling the same way you are!

God Bless,

Dana
