Hello everyone I'm new to the forum. Having VSG in March and looking to make some new friends along this weight loss journey.

Hi Curvy Cakes,

Welcome to BariatricPal and your upcoming sleeve surgery.

Here is a forum that is dedicated to patients having their surgery in March 2014. http://www.bariatricpal.com/forum/1000-march-2014-sleevers/ There appear to be two topics posted there already. You may be able to find other March members.

There are a lot of topics and many helpful members here at BariatricPal.

Good luck with your surgery

Hey there thanks a lot I will visit there now. I find I'm super excited to start this journey but scared at same time. Thanks again!

I know the feeling well. Totally normal feelings to be excited and nervous. You will probably experience those same feelings many times during your journey.

Have u had surgery yet?

Yes, I had my sleeve surgery on 10/25/13.

If u don't mind me asking how much have u lost so far? How r u feeling?

My surgery is in 9 days, very excited but very nervous.

I am 6 days post op sleeve, yes before hand I was nervous and thought of many times about cancelling. One of the main reasons was I had surgery on my left foot and ankle in September and still needed the assistance of a walker. I am staying with my daughter right now she is taking great care of me. But have taken a few steps solo!
