Hi Ash!

I would love to be friends. I just stumbled across this site and it's the best ever. I am less than 3 weeks out to my surgery date. It would be great to be friends with someone to share ideas, questions, advice or just to check up on each other. Look forward to hearing from you!

Hi Ash - I am getting sleeved in May and definitely need someone to hold me accountable!! Where are you from?

Hi Sondra - just saw your post - we are all about the same time - maybe we could get a small group setup and work together and not necessarily all the 1000's of people out here. lol

congratulations Greg!!! I would like that very much

My surgery I may 20 I would love to be part of the group too!

Hi Ash & All the Folks Who Responded,

This is WeeWers. I posted a while ago for a buddy and got 2 lovely replies. It seems your post is coming together to form it's own sub-group within this forum. I would *very* much like to be part of this group -- but I don't know how to go about it.

I'm 5-6 and weigh about 300 pounds. If all goes well I'm looking at a June surgery. This forum is soooooooooo big that I think it would be very difficult to make friends here. Hence, why I'm interested in the group. I'm home-bound and do not have friends outside of my husband. Do you think you could keep me updated as to being part of the group. Is the main focus of the group for folks who are sleeved in May & June? If not, is there another focus -- or just being buddies -- which is good enough for me!

Take care all,

WeeWers

hey weewer, Yes I added ya as a friend :)

So is there anyway we can all communicate as a group?

  • Author

nope just forums, its not set up like facebook to where your friends have a wall to post...it does alert you when someone whose friends with you changes their status, but no group chats besides the instant messagener at the bottom

of the screen

I would love to be sleeve buddies. I believe the more the merrier. We all need a Support system.
