Hi from Baltimore :)

Hello There

:) I've been lurking for the past few days.... posting little things here and there. So today I thought it was time to introduce myself!

I'm Jes. I'm twenty three. I've been married to my love for four years now.

We live in Baltimore, Maryland. I'm a teachers assistant.

I am hoping to have my surgery in December!

Thank you everyone who posts. Originally, I was leaning heavily towards the band. Then, my nutritionist made a comment, and made me start looking into the sleeve.

Through reading this forum, I have decided the sleeve is the way to go

:) I look forward to getting to know you guys!

Hi and welcome to VST! We are happy to have you join us here. I wish I had have the option of weight loss surgery available to me when I was your age, my life would have been so different. Congratulations on your decision and keep us posted on how you are doing.

Hello and welcome to the VST.

I was the same way, went looking for one type WLS ended up with a different one. Glad I did!

As you have already learned from lurking on this site there is not much about VSG you cannot find out about here.

Looking forward to reading about your journey.

Good Luck,

Gary B

Thank you all :)

Nikkey-I'm going through Franklin Square. I normally hate them. But, I met with their weight loss surgery team... and, they're amazing.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
