Hello,

This is my first post on here. Ive been reading everyone's journeys as I prepared to embark on my own. I am 22, male, 370 pounds. I am getting surgery done in December on the 28th in Mexico. Very nervous, but excited to start getting healthy. I plan on making video logs and posting them on YouTube as I progress through my journey. I've always been overweight and I'm tired of standing on the side lines watching my friends and family live life. It's my turn. I record music as a hobby and would love to make music and preform someday. I'm hoping to find some friends on here to form a support group.

Good Luck and keep us posted. I myself am planning to go to Mexico in March, I'm so excited.. Good luck my friend.

Thanks! May I ask who you are getting your surgery through? I am getting mine done through a company called beliteweight my surgeon is Dr. Jose Rodriguez

I've chosen Dr. Fernando Garcia, I'm really comfortable with his coordinator and all my research on him and the facility. ????

Awesome! I wish the best to you!

Charley,

Its great your doing this now at 22. It beats a life time of the next fad diet that never works. I have not set my date for surgery as yet, but it will be somewhere around when you do. I just finished my cardio and my Dr. from Silver Cross Hospital in New Lenox Illinois said that was all I needed to complete all the requirements. My Insurance is a go, so after my Doctor gets the cardio which was much easier than I ever thought, I too can set a time. I will follow your journey and hope only the best.

Welcome and congrats on making the decision to change your life forever. My daughter and I both have had the sleeve done this year. I got mine on 9/1 and she got hers on 10/20. It was by far the best decision I have ever made. I regret nothing. It's so nice to wake up every day knowing that in the near future I will be at a healthy comfortable weight. I'll be able to look in the mirror and see the person I've always wanted to see. The person that will match my outgoing personality. The sleeve truly does change your life in all different ways. Your attitude changes, your thought process, your outlook on life everything. Good luck on your journey.
