Well I didn't see any started over on this side, and since it's already into September I am starting one. I will go post over in the pre-op area.

My surgery is on 9/11. 9 more days. :ph34r:

Is there a way for the September Folks to stay current with each other? I mean, do you have to just pick through the posts -- or is there a centralized communication that folks can do?

We could email or Facebook each other ......

Sassy sleevers on Fb is great, and I have a separate September sleevers group. Just email me your address and I'll add you.

I had surgery Monday. Today is a great day, but it's still hard to get Protein and Water in. I'm on full liquids for a month and I don't think those include mashed potatoes or cottage cheese. But! I'm ok with that because it sounds horrible right now.

Anyone off pain meds? I think I will be by next week.

Are the Facebook groups private?

You know, most are. I was thinking any of us who want can friend each other and keep up with each other.

I was not on pain meds.... Doc sent me home with a prescription, but I have not needed to fill it!

Please add me to the sassy sleevers. My email is susantorlone@gmail.com

I'd love to get in a group. My email is funmama1@yahoo.com. I'm on fb, but keeping this journey private.

Mine is not a private journey... I am blessed that I was able to do this. My husband is planning to go in for his in March. I feel blessed that his entire family is supportive since they all know the medical reasons.

I wish you lots of luck and know that we are all here to support each other!

I am going to jump in here. I was sleeved 9/3. I have lost 16 pounds since surgery and 26 since my surgical consult. I had my post op visit today and was advanced to full liquids....Next step real food I can chew!

As for the FB groups, take advice with a grain of salt. Sassy Sleevers is popular and has a lot of members but it's pretty catty and full of poor advice. The September group is going well right now and it's set as Closed/Private so that any posts made there do not show up on your Facebook wall.

That's great. I'm interested in the Sept group. Closed groups are great.

I've added everyone that responded to the september group. I agree, sassy sleevers has all of kinds of patients-- people asking for permission to behave poorly as well as perfect patients that follow the book. Have to pick and choose for sure!

Add me to the sept FB closed group too please? sohio44811@yahoo.com
