Hi,
Hello my name is h h ryvr (pronounced River). I am 39 years old and am from Idaho. I have not had my surgery yet I am still in the planning phase. I am planning to have the gastric sleeve if everything goes correctly with my tests. I had to have an endoscopy to test for acid reflux disease which I do suffer from GERD to assess the damage if the damage is too severe, and I do not have a hiatal hernia; I won't be able to have a gastric sleeve and I'll have to do a gastric bypass instead.
My current weight is 291. My highest weight was 321. Before I started my weight-loss journey I had dropped 78 lb bringing me down to 241 however I gained most of it back recently due to inactivity. I am working hard at learning how to eat smaller portions and exercising on a regular basis. My exercise includes walking using the Wii. My Wii exercise includes bowling, using the Wii fit, and Poke Park. In the late spring, summer and early fall I walked to a local park that has a circuit that we can walk around that allows me to get outdoor exercise, however oh, I have to be careful about sun exposure due to a sun allergy I have.
I'm not sure what else I should put here I don't have pictures of myself. But this is my introduction and I'll try to post as often as I can.

Hey Ryvr. Welcome to the group! I just had the sleeve done two weeks ago. I’m new here myself. Let me know if you have any questions or just need someone to talk to! Keep up the great work.
 
Welcome to the group H H Ryvr. My Roux en Y surgery is scheduled for 2/14/20.
Using you wii for exercise made me smile. We bought a virtual reality headset for our family at
Christmas and I’ve been using that to become more active. It’s a lot of fun.

Looking forward to seeing you in the forums.
