hi there!!! are there really gay people here?!?!?!?

[RyanSleeve2014 27]

Welcome, new gay sleevers!

Tomorrow is my one-year Surgiversary! I'm down 134 pounds from a top weight of 381. I'm 34, 6"2' gay male. Married and happy as hell.

That said, It's hard work. Not necessarily physically (for me), the weight came off practically on it's own, but mentally, emotionally and experiencially it's been a challenging year.

Do what the doctors tell you about HOW to lose the weight, constantly remind yourself WHY you lose the weight and, most importantly, do some sort of emotional work to figure out why you gained the weight in the first place. I strongly recomend support groups like Overeaters Anonymous and individual therapy. Some doctors offer support groups as well, which weren't a fit for me, but might be for you.

My only regret is not doing it sooner. Take lots of photos and get ready for an exciting adventure!!!

Hey, new here. Just been kind of observing. All the stuff I have been reading has been very encouraging. I'm to be "sleeved" on April 28th. I'm anxious, excited, and scared. I'm ready to start a new chapter in my life! ????

Hi bobbyy! How did things go?

Howdy to all of the new folks that have found the group! I am about 6 months out and doing great. The goal my doc and I agreed upon is only 40 lbs away and I couldn't be happier. If I can help any of the new folks in anyway please don't hesitate to ask. This site/forum has been a great resource for me so if I can help/support someone else that would be great. I certainly don't have all the answers and I am still fairly new but I will do what I can to support my WLS peeps! :-)

Hi! I'm Art. I just got my sleeve on 10/14. Been doing great, so far. Looks like you're about year ahead of me.

I hope all is well with you!

Hi Jess! Good for you! I started my process in January. It's well worth the effort, the preparation and the wait.
