Hey,

I am a few weeks pre-gastric sleeve surgery and looking for support groups in the Beaumont Tx area or talk with anyone locally that is planning or has gone through bariatric surgery? Any help or advice would be appreciated.

I live in the Beaumont area had mine 10 months ago and have lost 57. I have had virtually no problems and am very happy with the surgery. I still need to lose 15-20 more but I'm sure this part will take the longest.

Thanks for the reply. I am both nervous and exicited about my upcoming surgery. And I had a small panic attack today when I thought about "not being fat" in the future. Have you had these feelilngs?

It is different, that's for sure. Kind of irritating in a weird way how strangers men and women actually TALK to you and try to engage you in a conversation. Also how men will hold the door for me now...I'm thinking you weren't HOLDING the door for me 57# ago! I'm sure I will get over this irritated phase and actually it's better the past couple of months. There is definatly a mental component but it's not anything major for me atleast. I never really SAW myself as that big or big as I was until I look back NOW at pics from last year and think DAMN I was pretty big.... so I guess that's why I wasn't scared to lose the weight.

I was sleeved 11/26/12 with Dr Schrapps in Beaumont
