Hi.  My name is Julie and I learned of this website through a support group offered through the hospital system where I had my surgery.  It took my a long long time to get to the point of surgery, but I finally decided that with increasing obesity-related health issues, I needed to get off  the fence. 
 
I am just entering week 2 post surgery - so a long way to go, a lot to learn, but so far, so good. 
 
I would like to get questions answered from other people who have had gastric sleeve surgery (in particular) 
 
I would like to track my progress in a supportive community and hopefully help others on their journeys as well. 
 
I have been overweight my whole life, having first joined a well-known diet plan back in the mid-1970s
 
and many many rejoins over the years since then, as well as other diets and exercise programs
 
while I have always had some initial success, I have also consistently regained that weight, and more.
