Hello there! I just wanted to say thank-you. I have been a bit of a lurker and have drawn so much inspiration from all of your journey's! My highest weight was 406 I am now 372. I am getting sleeved on feb 18th. I am excited and nervous of course and have found alot of encouragement from being in this forum. I just wanted to introduce myself and say I'm looking forward to "getting to know you" all . Thanks again

Hey, Daisygirl--nice to "meet" you! It sounds like you're off to a great start with your pre-op weight loss. Your sleeve will also help you keep off whatever you can lose in advance, so it's like getting a head start before your surgery. I find it very comforting to come to this forum. You can discuss anything here, and everyone GETS it. No one here is going to lose all of their weight in 6 months, and we all have a lot more at stake than the "average" person on other boards. Glad you found us, and very best of luck to you!

Hi Daisy,

You have really lost the weight pre-op! Congrats......I know it isn't easy. Wow.

You will lose so much more with your new tummy/sleeve. It is the best thing that has ever happened to most of us. I love my banana shaped stomach.

I look forward to hearing more about you and the awesome journey you are on.

Hugs,

Sharon

Congrats! You're going to do great, just hang in there and do your thing! Getting a sleeve was the best thing I've done for myself - that and therapy :)
