Hi I'm new here I have never been on an social media's...so this is also new to me.

My surgery is Tuesday July 26th. Just wanted to say hello and introduce myself

Hello and welcome. Lots of great information you will find here. So tell us a little bit about yourself. What surgery are you planning on getting, height, Weight, and is insurance covering or not?

Thank you. I'm having the gastric sleeve and my insurance is covering the surgery. I'm bone on bone both knees so I need to get my BMI down before I get knees replaced

Congratulations in advance and have a safe surgery!

Hello, I spent ALL of my free time reading through this forum and another one I found months before surgery. There is so much useful information out there.

Good luck with your surgery!

I'm doing pretty good with them, sometimes I just want something to eat, just for a min, but 4 more days to go is what I keep in mind, so far I have lost 11 pounds on my pre op diet, I hope all goes well with your surgery

I'll keep you posted. Im hoping because I lost 40pds since starting this journey I just stalled...let's keep in touch since we are doing this so close together

Hello and congratulations on your surgery date.

Thank you...nerves are setting in but I'm excited to start this new journey. Can anyone tell me how quickly they got you up walking
