looking for a gastric sleeve buddy!

I'm from TX planning on getting sleeved towards the end of April..waiting for my surgery date. I'm 24 yrs old and I'm looking for someone I can relate to and go through this journey with...someone who understands. If anyone out there can relate and would like a sleeve buddy..please let me know :)

I'm doing pretty okay on the liquid diet! It's gotten easier, not as bad as I thought it would be. How are you doing? And I know! Next week is coming so fast! I'm so so ready for surgery though:) I can't wait! Do u wanna link up on Facebook so we can keep in touch and maybe meet up in the hospital? You can look me up by my name, Shanda Elliott.

Good luck to you! :)

Well friends, although I am not from Texas, I would love to help and support from New Jersey! I had my sleeve June 22 of last year. I have lost 128 lbs! It's a great feeling and I would be willing to talk and answer any questions! It's always nice to have people to be there for you that understand what you are going through! If you want to, send me a personal message (anyone :) ).

I don't live in texas but I am 23 and just had my surgery on April 19th I am here if you would like to talk about it u know I could always use more support in my journey
