Hi there, I’m new this site and WOW! It’s great! It’s exactly what I’ve been looking for!! I had my initial consult with my Dr. at the end of August. I just finished my nutritional courses and I’m waiting for my final consult to set for Dec 5th. Then I’ll have my surgery date! Yesss!! It should be sometime in January! I’m having the sleeve. Although I’m extremely excited about this decision and very ready for this change, I am also quite apprehensive at the same time.

I have only lost 10lbs so far. I’m trying not to get discouraged with that at this point but rather focus on the positive changes I’ve made up to this point.

I just know I can’t do this on my own. I definitely need support from friends, family, and those who are and have gone through this. I need help, that’s for darn sure! Love reading all your stories and experiences ❤️?
