Unsure about surgery?
This is month five, out of six, for my required pre-op program. As my surgery month is getting closer, I am feeling more unsure. Can you tell me how you felt in the weeks before your surgery? How about the first weeks after? Were you scared and unsure?

Exercise questions
What are some of your go-to things for exercise? How long per day are you exercising? I want to join a gym soon, but have no idea where to start when it comes to using the machines/weights for strength training. Any advice? Thanks! :smile:

New to the group!
Hi everyone! My name is Mandy. I'm 34 years old and I live in Idaho. Next week I will be starting month two of my six month preparation period for sleeve surgery.
