New and Excited

Hello,

I just wanted to introduce myself. I have been researching wls options for a couple of months now; started out wanting the band and switched to the sleeve after reading more about it. Today my surgery date was scheduled for August 4!

I have never been very good at communicating online, but I wanted to thank all of you for so openly sharing your journey and experiences. It has truly been appreciated and allowed me to know my options and questions to ask my surgeon. I look forward to learning more from this group.

Welcome!!! Hang around, you'll get to love us all ... and who knows, you might even get those fingers itchin' to type.

Congrats on getting your surgery date and making your decision. You at least have to keep us posted on your progress

I am glad you changed your mind and are having sleeve surgery instead. Now you won't have to go back and have a revision like some of us have had to do.

Welcome to Sleeve talk.

Thank you for the welcomes! I will be sure to keep you posted and probably have a few questions along the way.

Questions? You'll have questions? Ask away -- everyone here has questions and if you can't get an answer here, I don't know where else you possible could.

Welcome and congratulations on your decision to have WLS.
