Hello! I am in the process of scheduling my gastric sleeve surgery. I have my last watched appt December 1st and that is the day I will
Get my surgery date. Looking at Jan for surgery so far. I am in the weight loss process currently to lose some extra weight to help my insurance company approve me. I am looking for women in my position (and men!) who would like to buddy up and motivate each other. I started series dieting a little over two weeks ago and I was at 291.5 lbs. I am now down to 282.2. So there’s a bunch to lose! Thanks!
Add me as a friend!

    Hi, I am on the road to having the sleeve done also. My team and I thought I would have it done end of January or so. Insurance said April. I also am on my first week of starting to give up gluten. After seeing the dietitian she said I am sensitive if not allergic. Let be friends and support each other.
