Hello Everyone from Miami

I am new to this board. Some of you might know me from SML's Before and After board. I'm pre-op (no date); gastric sleeve. I weigh 282 pounds right now and my hope rests with this upcoming operation- I need to be at my ideal weight of 164 pounds. I am happy to be a part of this board and I wish you all well.

Welcome Carlos, Ask anything you think of and we'll all try to help you. Even if it seems silly ask it anyway, as others read here to and may be to shy to ask. The Gastric Sleeve, that's kind of new but I'm sure your Surgeon will help you along fine. So now Please fill in your profile Blogging your WLS Journey too as someone in the future may read it and be inspired by it to receive one of these surgeries too. Once your under way as a Post-op you may even consider becoming an OH Support Group Leader as I just finished my Training. I'm in Tampa Bay. Hoping that you'll come to next years 2007 Florida's OH Conference too. Have a Wonderful Day, Mike

I am currently wearing my CPAP machine in the evenings. On the 24th I visit my PCP in order to see my surgen. Things are rolling forth and my hope is that by the end of the year I will have my operation.
