Hi! Looking for a sleeve buddy. Is anyone getting sleeved around April 4?

mmadams I am having surgery on the 10th also. I have to start my 10day liquid diet on 3/31.

I am in nc and I am having the vsg on April 4th, too. So cool to see others doing it on my same day! I am nervous and excited all at the same time. I started my prep diet today and also stopped smoking, so not sure how pleasant I will be for the next few day

Good for you! I know it's hard to quit smoking, but it's so worth it. I quit last June. The second day was the hardest. Now, I can't even stand the smell of it. Good luck!! You can do it!

Okay, everyone I think I am going to start an April 2012 sleeve group and invite you all to be in it, and anyone else who will be sleeved in April can join for that extra added support. I will do this in the next day or two. I looked into it and you need at least five people to create a group, we have way more than that.

Hi, I live in NC, but I'm having my surgery at the VA hospital in West Virginia on April 19. I definitely need support and a sleeve buddy.

Oh no, scratch that!! That is a forum. We can create an April 2012 group. Let me know since we have a lot of interest.

Please include me in the April sleeve group. I need all the support that I can get.

Ok, waiting for a forum then. Until then, just found out my husband may not be here for my surgery date on the 1st. Yikes! Can I do it alone?

Do you have anyone who can be with you? As a Recovery Room nurse I know the staff will take care of you but it's so much better to have someone who can speak up for you and you will have to have someone drive you home. Good luck!

Hey SkinnyMom, thanks. Hopefully he will be back the day before, but you never know with air travel and international at that. I really hadn't wanted to tell any of the other family members here, so we'll see. It may come down to a friend from work if I am desperate. I would just hate to be a baby around anyone else.

Hi! Congrats on your upcoming surgery. I will invite you to the group! We all need all the support we can get.

Oh no, that stinks ! My immediate family members know that I am getting the surgery, but I have told anyone else (other than my hairdresser). You may want to try to find someone else for support. It may be hard to do it alone, but I'm sure it has been done before. Will your husband be home to drive you home from the hospital?

Yes, and hopefully he won't miss it. We are here in Kuwait and its his family, so I don't really feel like telling them all my business.

Oh yes, Carly, I completely understand! My husband's family doesn't know anything either and I'm planning on keeping it that way. I sent you an invite to the group. Did you get it?

Please include me in the April sleeve group. I need all the support that I can get.

I keep trying to join, but it won't let me. What am I doing wrong?
