I wanted to introduce myself, I had my sleeve back on May 29th, there was actually 5 of us on my friends list that had it the same day. While I have found MFP to be the best tool ever, I felt guilty about not going to the other sites to give back to the new sleevers. So it was recommended I join here and give back here. I know that leading up to my surgery it was important in my recovery to surround myself not only with family but folks who had been through the process or was going through the process. I started this Journey at just over 3 months ago at 404 hence the name, and I am down 88 lbs as of today. I visited other sites with VSG forums but left due to negativity, if you are looking for a positive influence and positive support then feel free to add me. I will try to get on here and participate often.

    Congrats Allen. You are doing wonderful! But a lot of people keep mentioning these "other" sites. What sites?? lol . . . I have only been on a few mostly before surgery and right after. But don't feel guilty for not "giving back". I think MFP is a great place to be. And part of the reason we all had the procedure is to be healthier and LIVE life. You can only dedicate so much time to posting on a gazillion sites anyway. I personally don't know how people literally are on TEN plus sites posting, commenting, updating, etc. I'd go crazy. You can only do so much and you are definitely inspiring and spreading positive motivation and encouragement here so that's enough to be proud of!

    Keep up the good work. :)

    Congrats on the weight loss! A week from today my surgery will be finished, and I'll be recovering. Excited, but nervous. I look forward to your thoughts on different things!
