Hello, I wish you the best of luck with your surgery. I had the gastric sleeve done on April 19th, 5 weeks ago today and I have lost 30 lbs. I do not regret having the surgery. Your lifestyle will change and that will be a positive change. I have met 4 ladies who also have had the sleeve and we talk on facebook all the time. They are great friends and we share each others ups and downs and we can offer inspriration to each other when one of us is having a bad week. I just joined this forum and I have found a lot of helpful info. Hang in there.
