I am at mount Sinai.

Has anyone set up a private facebook account for September sleevers to join?

Just finished my last preop requirement and waiting for a surgery date, I'm assuming it will be September. Super excited and can't stop reading forums and YouTube blogs. Surgery will be at Holy Cross in Ft. Lauderdale, I'm in SW Fla, anyone else in the area?

I'm on the surgery schedule for Sept 9th too, I'm not as nervous as I was, I have a dear friend that's been talking me through the process because she was sleeved in February. She's down 70lbs since Feb, that's with no exercise strictly diet change. She's been telling me exactly what to expect, and what I need to intake to stay hydrated and energized. Also informed me of any worse case scenarios like hers, she tested positive for the H-pyloren and was kept in the hospital another night because she couldn't get her liquids down. She gave me her favorite protein drinks to try and premeasured cups for liquids and soft foods. I'm very glad to be out of work for 3 weeks to really invest in healing and closely following doctors orders post op.

I'm at St Mark's Hospital in Salt Lake City, Utah:) Woo hoo!

Has anyone set up a private facebook account for September sleevers to join?

I don't think so. I want to do it but I'm not quite sure if I should set it up as Open, Closed, Private, etc. I want folks to be able to find it, but I want it to be private so not everyone can see our posts!

I hadn't thought of the physical tools like measuring cups, etc. I have an electronic food scale, but I forgot about getting some of the other stuff in advance. Good reminders!

Hmm, maybe set as private and then just invite ppl to join on here? Post the info in the signature portion so if someone sees it they are able to join? I believe that is how other month sleevers did it, bc people were asking to join - but not 100% sure.

H-pylori is a bacterial infection which usually is the cause of stomach ulcers. Easily treatable, antibiotic for 7-10 days.

On my way to my psych appt so nervous I don't want anyone to throw off my surgery date.

I'm in the waiting room at my psych eval appt. I'm excited, it means I'm one step closer to surgery!
