New to the forums, and VERY excited!

Hi there! I am new here, and I wanted to stop by and introduce myself. My name is Christine, I am 40 years old, I live in Colorado, and tomorrow I will be 4 weeks post op for my sleeve, and I feel fantastic! I am getting in mile walks almost daily with my dog (weather permitting), and I am more positive, and have more energy than I have had in years. I have already seen a 26 pound loss, and that encourages me a lot! I see my surgeon tomorrow for my first post op visit, and am excited to go. Usually he wants to see people in a week, but my surgery was on the 18th of December, then the holidays came into play, and he was out of town, and then the soonest available was tomorrow. Obviously I had ways to contact him if I needed him/his advice - but everything has been going as well, if not better than I was prepared for.

This was a long talked about decision between my husband, my children (22 and 17), and myself, and I am now certain that I have made one of the BEST decisions of my life.

Okay, that's about all I have for now.

Welcome.

There are so many benefits from the surgery.

You have decided to change your life.

It also sounds like you have the full support of your family; fantastic.
