Hello!

I'm a 26 year old gay male and my sleeve date is February 19th. I'm a mix of emotions but coming here it's good to know there are so many supportive people and knowing that I certainly am not alone in my endeavors. I'm very open to meeting new people and having mentors/broadening my support system. Nice to meet you guys!

Hi and welcome! Lots of useful info here, pull up a chair and make yourself at home.

Thank you! I've been reading for hours everyone has such interesting stories and advice. I really feel more at ease already.

Welcome and best of luck with your surgery.

One thing that I think really helped me was that I made my mind up going in to do everything I was asked to do even if I thought I couldn't.

Keep us posted on how you are doing.

I had that mentality too! I was gonna do whatever they asked with no questions. But I had a slip up with my diet today and had 2 pieces of candy. That's actually what brought me to the forum in the first place. I feel so much better and I have the end goal in mind. I won't beat myself up for slip ups.

Hi big guy! My surgery is 2/16 and I am day 4 of my 2week preop diet. I was really struggling tonight but feel much better after reading some of these posts! Can't wait for the surgery!!!

I can't wait either! I'm visiting my parents and my mom read over all the material I brought for the surgery pre-op diet and made a great meal tonight. She gave me a few good tips too. Definitely feeling more confident now.
