Hello everyone! Mine name is Lindie. I am 40 years old, married and I have one child. I am new to this forum. I had my Vertical Sleeve surgery on September 16, 2013, and I am so excited to start this new journey in my life. My starting weight on the morning of my surgery was 237 lbs., and as of this morning I am weighing in at 226 lbs.. I am really looking forward to being healthier, keeping up with my very busy son and shopping in the smaller clothing section.
