I'd really like to find a friend I csn talk to. I live in Reno, Nevada and I am hoping to meet some people I can call friends. I really have none and with the emotional toll this surgery has taken on me I think it would help me a lot. Thanks.

We are in the same boat my emotions ate all over!!!!

Sometimes I feel like I shouldn't have done this ya know. I just want to be normal again.

It's ok. I'm not in the Nevada area but friendship knows no distance. I was sleeved at the end of October '13 and I went through the same emotions. I was dizzy all the time and since I had not told most of my friends and family, I had little support. The depression stage lasts only for a moment till your pjs begins to look buggy on you. It's only been 2 weeks but yesterday, 2 of my friends remarked that they could see my neck! Praise God. Surround yourself with positive people and stick to your post-op directive from your doctor. You will be ok, we're all here just to hold your hand ( virtually).

I also had sleeve end of October. The concept of head hunger really makes sense for me and comes and goes. Try to find 1-2 people who can really support you. Thank God for my husband. He's been wonderful.

Keep posting and reading the wonderful stories here and you will find the days fly and your success will increase as you body decreases, hang in there and good luck

Hi Crissy, hang in there. You do have lots of friends and they are all on this forum. We are here 23-7. there may even be some in Nevada. Look in the room for Nevada and you may find someone close. I have not had my surgery yet but from the many folks I have spoken with, buyers remorse is very common the first month. Once you have healed and you are over the surgery part of this ordeal you will look at this a bit differently. I'm not telling any of my friends about the surgery so I understand the "aloneness" you feel. Even if you had shared this with family and friends they wouldn't understand things like the sleevers would so stick with us to help you get through this. Take one day at a time and envision yourself healthy and energetic at whatever size you want to be. Think about being able to walk up and down stairs without being winded, about having energy to walk 3 miles, or participate in a 5K race. The depression is temporary. You will get through this and you will feel much better. Hope to talk to you soon.

That should have been 24-7. I fat fingered the wrong key. sorry about that. :-)
