I am having surgery on March 21. I am 63 years old and weigh 320 lbs., 5"7. Need to loose about 170 lbs, ut anything over 120 lbs will make me happy. cant wait to get going on this. Sore knees, my back KILLS me just to stand up and I am short of breath just walking a short distance. Not to mention the sleep apnea. I am tired ALL of the time and have no energy to clean house, shop or do much of anything. I look forward to talking with others and charting our progress! Kathy S

Welcome just had my sleeve on Friday January 15 and I'm excited to see the change in me.

Welcome to our group. I was so happy with my early weight loss, I loved all the small (NSV) that I saw with my progress. I loved being able to walk up stairs without dying, wear a towel after the shower and have the ends fully cover me and be tuckable, cross my legs, not worry about flying and fitting in the seatbelts...tons of room to spare now. All of these things made me rejoice and work harder. I can't wait for you to experience them and more.
