Hi all!

I was sleeved 20 days ago, and am looking for a buddy. I've posted threads with questions and concerns, and the responses I've gotten are priceless. Thank you!

I'm from Los Angeles, and am in the process of looking for a local support group. I need all the support I can get, so I'm reaching out to a buddy here too. I currently don't have a cell phone, but we can chat via email and facebook. Email: Brisamari@aol.com. You can look me up in facebook under Maria Carbajal.

Thank you and God bless you all with much health and peace!

I am 4 days post op and I am struggling with food and Water issues. Very little of what I am allowed to eat or drink pass for food. Several "foods" are already making me gag. On the bright side, my stomach/abdomen are less sore each day and I am feeling a little stronger every day. However, I am talking to myself and telling myself to just "hang" in there and I wil be fine.

I would enjoy chatting with you or any other "newbies" in the group.
