Hey, I'm new to this site and looking for support, I'm 22 and live near Seattle. Nice to meet you all.

Hi! I am 45 and have a son of your age. My surgery is May 23 also! I'm a nervous wreck. I can't sleep. Are you nervous? I know everything will be great and our lives are going to change for good.

Hello Ladies, My name is Desiree and my surgery is May 22, 2013 and yes, I am nervous but I know GOD will be right there in the O.R. So, we dont have to worry. Rest, and let GOD do his job.

Yes I am super nervous! I hate the thought of being out under and getting cut open ????

Don't worry y'all! I just had mine Tuesday, first few days were rough but today I felt pretty good ! Good luck to you all !

My surgery is on the 23rd as well.. I am 23 years old and from Connecticut

How are you all doing? My surgery was a success. I was in a lot of pain, but it didn't last long. As of today I can hold 3 ounces of liquids, strained soups, and a container of greek yogurt. I am living off greek yogurt. I had a problem with whey shakes, they are disgusting. So I am drinking hemp shakes. I have lost 20 lbs so far. Unbelievable. I hope you all feel as good as I do. What a blessing!

Welcome.. I'm 28 and still waiting on my actual surgery date. Hope all goes well for you..

Welcome. Im new as well. I am just beginning my journey. First consult appt on July 30th. Good luck.
