    Such a pleasure to meet you all! It is a wonderful decision but tougher for me mentally then I expected it to be. We all have demons we face or we wouldnt even consider it right?

    Hi everyone. I'm still in the beginning. I'm under the 6 mo. program with insurance. I've taken a few classes so far. I expect to have surgery in May sometime. So, for those of you who have had the surgery...what would you recommend doing PRIOR to surgery? I'm on MFP and I'm watching my calories, protein etc. What did you do or wish you would have done (or known about) prior to surgery? Thank you for your insight!

    Hi! I'm in Minnesota--land of frozen tundra. I had my sleeve on 11/19/14. Have not regretted a thing. Surgery went well and recovery even smoother.

    Hi everyone! I am from Michigan and my surgery is in two days! (Monday, 1-12-15). I have been on MFP for YEARS and have gone up and down even prior to being on here. I'm so excited that I am doing something that I know will aid me in finally getting to my goal and staying there. Great to see you all and hopefully we can stay in touch and keep each other motivated! Please add me! Thanks :)

    Hello. My name is Wendy. I was sleeved on 8/14/14. H.W. 275. S.W. 255 C.W. 192.4. I am a stay at home mom with three teenagers living in Michigan. I am 40 years old and have been over weight since I was a teenager myself. I have tried so many diets and diet pills that I have lost count. I am excited to finally have something that will work with me and help me succeed. Feel free to add me.

    Hi, I am Michelle from Gulfport, MS. I was sleeved just eight days ago on Jan 5, 2015. I have struggled with my weight most all of my life and 5 years ago I had lap band and lost 110 pounds, but ended up with complications that caused the band to not work. Over the years I regained most of the weight and began to have more problems so the band needed to come out and my surgeon was able to convert it to a sleeve. I am excited to get a second chance and learning to a new healthier way of life!
