I can't believe I'm saying this, but that surgery trip has to be one of the most fun things I've ever done. I was so glad to meet you and your mom as well as everyone else. The weather was beautiful, the hotel was beautiful, and it was just trippy to sit around eating our broth afterwards and really enjoying the whole thing. My husband has said that usually if I haven't eaten I get really cranky, but he said I was unbelievably pleasant the whole trip. It still feels like a dream, and I am all for a reunion if I can get the $$ together!!

it WAS fun!!!! who woulda thunk it?! hahahaha great meeting you guys too! so glad I've got some sleeve sisters to compare notes with!

oh and I would LOVE a reunion!

Loved your photos and reading the notes.... While I had a different surgeon and different Hotel, it brought back memories of my experience. Mine was similar w/ meeting sleeve sisters and basically feeling like a vacation instead of a surgical visit. So glad you had such a positive experience.

Awesome!! Of course we're gonna set up

A reunion...we'll work it out somehow! So glad to have met u guys!!

we are the 3 amigos of sleeve sisterhood hahahaha seriously for everyone getting ready to get sleeved, it SO helps if you can connect with one or two people through the forums, especially if they are going to be staying at the same hotel. I was so lucky to have these other 2 ladies to bond over stomach gurgling and burping with me hahaha walk walk walk sip sip sip! and we are keeping in touch and comparing notes as we progress through post op diet
