I had my surgery November 4th. Spent two days in the hospital and now have been recovering at home. I would love to have a surgery buddy because I have never known anyone to get this surgery. Because of that I feel quite isolated and would love to have someone I could share my journey with.

Thank you for the support. Definitely what I need to hear right now.

Well I am in freak out mode too. I have my sleeve scheduled 11/4/14. I have my pre-op testing this Thursday. I don't have a lot of support because I have only told a few people. I lied at work and said that I had to have part of my stomach removed due to an abscess. I did that because I am embarrassed. My husband is proud that I am doing this but I am really scared. I don't know if I am more scared of the surgery or the fact that I won't be able to eat the foods that I love. For a long time I have used food as comfort. I am a very picky eater and am terrified that I won't be able to find foods that I like while following the diet. I am tired of being the "big girl" and want to make my children proud. Now I just have to suck it up and "do this". Has anyone else felt this way prior to surgery?

Hi all,
I had my surgery November 4th and spent two nights in the hospital. All went well however they said that I had fatty liver disease. They said that losing weight will help with this and now I see how important this surgery was for me to have although I was very scared and apprehensive before hand. I am doing ok. Have pain in the left incision site. I get tired quickly. I am drinking some Soups and eating popsicles. I am doing ok drinking skim milk. I am trying to get my Protein in but it is hard. I would love to connect with you all so that we can share our stories. I definitely need some surgery buddies.
