New

I am new here and just wanted to introduce myself. My name is Michelle and I am scheduled to have a sleeve done on Jan 30th. I am very excited/ nervous!  I am on day two of my low cal/ high protein fast and things are going really good. I am thankful its not all just liquid like I thought it would be. If anyone can offer advice and encouragement I would love it!!

Hi Michelle.  I have to admit I don't know a lot about the sleeve, but wishing you all the luck in the world.  Weight loss surgery is truly a life changing event.  I had RNY in 2004 and did very well.  I started off at 280 and ended up around 160.  Over the years I gained some here and there, but in the past year I've gained nearly 50 lbs.  Long story short, the opening of the stoma has closed and a fistula opened into the stomach, so my anatomy is operating 'normally'.  So, I'm having a revision to fix it.  I'm anxious about it, but ready to stop the crazy eating I've been doing lately.

My surgery is on Saturday - Jan 21.  Hope we can all keep in touch and be a support system for each other!
