Hi All, I hope everyone is doing well!
I can't believe it is eight weeks Post op today! I am so glad I got my sleeve, but it hasn't been easy! It's a lot of work, patience, trying new things, prayer and just getting used to a new way of living, eating and thinking about food.

Today is the day, in a few hours, I will be at the hospital! I'm nervous, excited, so many emotions! This has been a long journey, and a 35 year struggle with obesity. But I'm ready to take back my health! I'm so inspired by everyone who shares their joys, struggles, frustrations, etc on this site. Thank you all for that, the strength and compassion on this site is amazing. Please say a prayer for me, and I will see you all on the loser's bench! God Bless!
