I know there is a june post op page but it's from 2013 and very hard to go through all of those messages looking for support from people just going through the surgery although we love the veterans and all their wisdom sometimes you just want to talk to your graduating class about how things are going!!! congrats class of 2014 ha ha let's stay in touch here and post questions and answers and support each other im also considering making a facebook page so let me know if that would be something you would enjoy for the group. this page is for sleevers and bypassers and banders of june 2014

Hi all....I was sleeved on 6/16. As of 2 week check up was down 23 pounds. Learning lots everyday

That Facebook group -- JUNIES 2014 -- was up for one day and then mysteriously disappeared. I'm really disappointed, because I want support everywhere I can get it. But I guess this forum is kind of the same thing, right? Just that Facebook is so much easier. Anyway, I've written a bunch of emails to god-knows-how-many-people about getting the F'book page back up, and now it's July 5th...so I think we'll just have to congregate here. I had my band + plication done on Monday and the recovery has been okay and mainly boring. There is a psychological component to this that nobody addresses. Or maybe it's just me. I'm gong to drag my fat ass to an O.A. meeting this afternoon; my doctor (surgeon) says they are the best support groups and perhaps it's time I get some real (as opposed to virtual) support. You?

I had my surgery on Monday, June 30 -- lap-band with plication (stomach sewn in ½). Anyone else had that surgery done? I guess we're all different anyway, but my biggest side-effect is that I'm going buggy! And I know the only way this is going to work is if I have support from all kinds of people -- even those I know only virtually (like in this group). My son, who is in high school, is a big jock and thinks this whole thing is "ridiculous" and if I just had the will-power he has, I wouldn't need "this stupid surgery." So he is the opposite of support! But I'm going to be going to O.A. groups starting today (courtesy of my doctor's recommendation -- he thinks they're great for emotional support). Liquids have been working fine -- in fact, I'm kind of scared to start eating Actual food one of these days (a month?)...but I'll get to that neurosis when the time comes. Would love to hear how you other newbies are doing. Thanks!

I love the group on facebook but for some reason they are not accepting new members. i do however have a group started.

Message me and I will add you if you like.

Or click on the link and request.

This is a secret group. it's not public/nor just closed. Meaning that noone can access it without the link. it is not possible to find the group in searches either.
