Hello everyone! My name is Joye. I'm 23 and I have a son. I'm hoping to get gastric sleeve surgery. Tomorrow is the weight loss seminar that I have to attend in order to make an appointment with the doctor and I am so anxious/nervous/excited lol. I'm just ready to get the ball rolling. I look forward to documenting my journey here and meeting other people who've gone through this!

Hey joye...

Welcome... i just joined today myself.

Im not new to WLS.. i had the band for 6 years.. had it out 12 months ago.

I am having the sleeve done in 2 weeks.

So i completely understand what you mean by mixed emotions.. i have been through the process before.. and im emotional... so i cant imagine how you are feeling.

You will feel better once you attend the seminar.. full of knowledge to make the right choice for your circumstances.

Welcome Joye..

I'm scheduled for my surgery on April 21 and I'm super excited

Thank you for your responses everyone! The seminar went great. My first appointment with the surgeon is April 15th, next Friday. My insurance requires the six month "diet" so I'm just ready to start getting everything together.

Hi there! How exciting that you are taking this life-changing step at such a young age. I am 31 and wish I would have done this five years ago. I am still preop and have a surgery date of June 9. I look forward to following your journey!

I'm just a month ahead of you. My first appointment with the surgeon was March 18 and my next appointment is April 15. I actually didn't even know my insurance covered weight loss surgery. My husband's employer changed the policy. I went to my PCP in February just looking for some help with weight loss. BY that time I had lost 7lbs on my own. At my first visit with the surgeon I lost another 9lbs. So far this month I'm down another 11lbs for a total of 27lbs since the beginning of the year and 4.5 inches off my waist. I kind of had a divorce with food with food. Hubby and I went to couples counsel and he is no longer sabotaging my success. I can't wait to see you succeed. Congrats on the start of your journey.
