    Post hello everyone

    Hi ,
    I'm Shawn. I am starting my WLS journey very soon and I'm so very excited to be a part of this forum. You all talk to each other like friends that have known one another for years. I love it.
    I am 41 ,5 ft 9, 267 lbs. I had a heart attack last year from weight, and genetics. My Dr. looked me right in the eyes ,about 9 months ago and told me I need to get my weight under control. I have lost , gained , lost , gained...etc for years. I have seen a gastric surgen ,He said I'm a perfect candidate for the sleeve. I've started the nutritionist visits I have one more and then the mental exam. I'm assuming Ill have many tests after/ before I am approved. I am excited but scared as heck as well. I'm so happy to know ,I have this forum for support. Thank you for having me.

    Being on the forum is almost like a lifeline for me, helps keep me focussed and positive while dieting before the surgery, preparation is important. My eating patterns have completely changed, now just want it done! But have a month to go!

    Take care, my husband had a heart attack in Jan..3 stents..so can empathise, you are choosing life, I wish you well!!!
