Hi everyone! Just wanted to introduce myself, I'm Joe and I'm scheduled for my sleeve on March 28th. I'm nervous and scared, but more importantly I'm scared if I don't get the surgery. I've been obese and overweight my whole life and I just turned 40 and started having medical issues. My partner has been super supportive but I haven't told too many friends. I didn't have a good experience with telling my best friend, so it turned me off. Haven't been to any support groups yet, that's not my scene- but I will say this forum has been amazing! Thanks to all of you and for having an LGBT thread!

Welcome! Hope you find the boards helpful. I've been in here since Jan. Sleeved last Tues. I've found VST to be a helpful tool.

Hi Joe! Good luck with your surgery. I'm scheduled for March 29th.

Feel free to keep in touch. It would be great to chat with someone else on a similar timeline as our journey begins!
