Hello all! My name is stelina and after research I have just decided to go through the VSG surgery. I came across this site and like the idea of meeting and talking to people that have gone through and/or are going through the same things I am. I am just beginning my journey and am in the stage of picking a surgeon. This decision was not made lightly. While trying not to set my expectations too high, I am hoping the weight loss will help with my chronic, CONSTANT pain. I have no problem mentally working out. Physically it's a different story unfortunately. I am in so much pain it's hard for me to even get out of bed let alone hit up the gym or even swim which is supposed to be a great low impact exercise for me. Yet it's just another activity that I love that I must add to the list of things I can no longer do. So here we are, beginning a journey with high hopes. I hope to be able to meet new people on here to share with, ask advice from, and hopefully be able to give something to in return. So there it is, a little about me and my first post of many while going through my journey to a better, healthier, happier me.....

Hugs kisses and positive energy

Lina
