Are there any Alabama sleevers here?

We're super close to AL here in Florida. I think it takes us about an hour to get to Mobile.

That sounds close to me. We should meet up on the gulf coast, love it there. I am from south fla and have lived in northern ala for 7 years but still miss the water, tropical weather. Oh, how was Thanksgiving at your relatives? Glad you are back and chatting again.

It was okay, and super happy to be home.

We'll definitely have to get together sometime. We love it here, and it would be fun to meet another sleevester.

Itstime - I'm in Meridianville, AL just north of Huntsville. Where are you?

Hey,

I am southeast of Huntsville, Meridianville is just around the corner. Glad to see you here. Have you had surgery yet?

Keep in touch

My surgery is scheduled for Wed 3/3. I'm a mixture of scared and excited. Saw you had surgery in Dec, how are you doing? Any regrets?

Kabranda,

I remember being scared the closer it got to S date and had to just hope all went well and have confidence in my doctor. I had my husband with me and thank goodness, he remembered what actually happened! I have NO regrets whatsoever, even with the first few days being rough with nausea, all forgotten. I am losing weight steadily, some weeks nothing and then on down 2-3 lbs. I have so much energy and work out easily. Go to the pool and lift weights no prob. Did you go to a local doctor? I wish you well and let me know if you have any questions.

Dr. Facundus @ Alabama Surgical Assoc in HSV is doing my surgery - it is a Center of Excellence. I'm glad to be getting it done locally.

We seriously need to get together ! ! !

Y'all are about 6.5-7 hours from me. I'll roadtrip if y'all wanna talk about maybe getting together in April sometime.

Tiffy,

That sounds great! Do you live near Eglin AFB? Isn't that near Pensacola? I went to school in Pensacola and loved that city. Anyway road trip coming up for sure!

Yeppers, we are smack dab in the middle between Pensacola and Destin.

I had my revision at Eglin. The husband is stationed out of Hurlburt Field, and we live off-base in Navarre. It's about a 40 minute drive to downtown Pensacola from our house.

My surgery is 3/3 and I'm taking a couple of weeks off work so April might be a little tight for me but I'll be in Gulf Shores, AL (6/11-6/18 I think) and Destin the last week of August.

I love that area and would love to meet up with you both if we can pull it off. Does anybody's significant/ DH play golf? The guys would have something to do while we gab or any suggestions?

We can shoot for May just whatever works out for all of us.

John doesn't golf, but he loves to fish. He's a country boy at heart. If I end up coming to y'all, it'll be a weekend away for me. I have to get away a couple times a year.

I'm all for that, maybe get some more of us to meet up at a condo on the beach. Aren't there some from Jacksonville? We have to pull something together and I have always wanted to have a girls weekend trip.
