Any May Sleevers yet?

[165B445 188]

Hey guys. I'm turning 40 tomorrow and having the surgery on May 18th. Been back and forth on this decision for over 5 years and finally pullin the trigger.

Would really appreciate a buddy or 2 or 3 to go through this with. Anyone up for supporting a 40 year old male nurse through the process. I'm also willing to help any who need it.

Just curious how many times have you all seen your surgeon before your surgery. Ive only had one appointment with mine the initial consult. Next time i see him will be on the day...i kinda feel unprepared or something.

Well.....after gaining and losing large amounts for weight yet again, i finally hit my peak weight of 356! I couldn't go up a flight of stairs or walk through a parking lot without getting winded.

While i am able to loose weight, every time a go off whatever diet i am on, i ain back the weight, and more. I decided its time to equip myself with the proper tool for sustained weight loss so i am going ahead with the surgery.

I to have only seen my Dr once. But per my insurance company I attended three dietitian classes were we were given a book that covered a lot of what to expect and things we would need to have to help us, I will meet with my Dr Nurse two weeks prior to my surgery date to go thru a one on one for any questions. I have learned a lot as well from this sight. Good luck with your journey.
