How can I get info on when this group meets? I would like to attend a meeting one day!

Hi all,
Since everyone in the preop forum has been so great to me over the past few months, I thought I would put my post op story here as a check in.
Today makes 3 days since surgery. I'm still in the hospital. I'm being released in a few hours. I'm only in the hospital because my first two days I wasn't getting in as much liquids as they would have liked, but by day 3 I corrected that..The only pain I feel is the pain from the incision and gas pains. I've never had true gas pains until after this surgery. Both of my pains are being managed through medication and walking around the hospital. After surgery, I feel that I walk like a mummy but hopefully that would soon change.
In the hospital im drinking broth, Apple juice, and Water. I can't imagine me having anything more than that. I'm so stuffed after a few sips, but I'm sure as time goes on that will change.. I am interested to see how I will tolerate my Protein Drinks that I have at home.
Anyways, I can't think of anymore. Again, I want to thank everyone for their support and let you all know I'm fine.. For those who have upcoming surgeries coming up Good Luck and Best Wishes!

My surgery is in 4 hours. I'm nervous, excited, and scared all at once. I pray for a successful surgery and speedy recovery!

For months I have been President of the Cool club when it came to getting my sleeve. Now 6 days before surgery the freak out is here. The thoughts of death and complications have me worried. I try to assure myself that I will be ok. I am doing my best to stay positive. I'm 26 with a 40BMI, I hope my age and weight is a positive for the healing process (mostly age). How is everyone coping with the scary part of surgery? Tips and advice would be highly appreciated.

My grandma called me today and told me last night I sounded sad and it made her upset the whole night. She asked me to try to sound happy when I talk to her because it makes her sad and worried.. That solidified my decision in not telling her! I feel better about my decision now.

Hello all. Just moved to Albany will be sleeved in / weeks. How can I get more info on the group?

How can I get info on when this group meets? I would like to attend a meeting one day!

Surgery date, Feb 25th in NY!

Most of my friends I told worried more about the surgery and how it would affect my health afterwards. Even though I've explained this surgery will have more pros for me moving forward.. I think our friends care about us and are just worried. So I have decided not to tell anymore people because I don't need the added stress before surgery. Especially since I'm 100% committed to doing the surgery.

I just did my final weigh in yesterday and was able to lose the final 5 pds by doing an Atkin Protein Shake for Breakfast and lunch and grilled chicken breast for dinner. For Snacks I would have 2 cheese sticks a day. And of course I worked out 5 days a week for one hour each day.

Update: I recieved my results today. I don't have sleep apnea. I'm super excited that my surg process will go smoothier.

So here is a little update: I found out that if I'm diagnosed with sleep apnea I would need the mask and must be under full compliance for 6 weeks to get approved for surgery. The place the Pulm originally referred me to had a month and a half waiting period. I was able to call around and get an appointment scheduled for this week Friday! By early next week I'll know if I have sleep apnea. I'll keep everyone updated!

I'm only joking. I'll go through with it and deal with the results either way.

I'm going to bug them every day to give me the earliest appointment available. I'm still trying to get my surg by Feb.
