New Member, Surgery Soon...
Hello all... I recently found this forum through another member and thought I'd drop in and say hello...
I'm currently scheduled for surgery on 3/3/16, and am having the Sleeve procedure...
I look forward to reading through the forum for post-op tips and tricks, and looking even more forward to becoming a healthy father for my daughter...
Welcome and good luck on your journey!
Lots of resources on this site.

Welcome! I am just past three weeks post-op and it's the best thing I could have done. I have lost almost thirty pounds since the surgery and almost just over 50 since September. I have a 7 year old son and nine year old daughter and I intend to be around for both their weddings.
I carry the dust of a journey
That cannot be shaken away
It lives deep within me
For I breathe it every day
Highest weight: 402
