Joining the ranks - I'm new here :)

Hi everyone! I'm not new to MFP but I am new to VSG. I'm on day 13 of my pre-op diet and I'm being sleeved on 9/23! I'm going to TJ with a friend from work who is having it on the same day with me! I'd love to get to know you all and be a part of this group!

I'm already down 16 pounds just with the pre-op diet :) YAY!!

    Well done on your current loss, and yay that you're getting sleeved - also great that you have a fellow friend going through it with you. :)

    You are in the right place. MFP is so easy to customize for our needs. The community boards are also very helpful. I had my sleeve on 7/1 and have learned so much through the members here. The preop was the hardest part for me so far.
    Best wishes as your surgery date approaches.
  • Hi Abbey - I was sleeved last week. Congrats on your weight loss so far and feel free to send me a friend request if you want to connect.

    Great profile name, I love it! So creative! I'm 4 months out and I've lost 78 lbs. I've found so much support through MFP and I'm sure you will as well. I'll add you as a friend.

    Welcome! I was sleeved six months ago in TJ. Who is doing your surgery? What facility are you going to?
