I am scheduled for gastric sleeve on June 23. I don't know anyone who has been down this road. I am very stressed. Can anyone be a support pal? Anyone else having surgery soon and is also stressed? How do I get past the stress?

Does your surgeon not have a support group? What about the psych exam? Have you contacted one for that? There are many ways already listed: exercise, eating better, sleeping better, do you spend time with family, friends, doing activities that aren't stressful? Prayer, meditation?

All those things help.

I am scheduled for June 18th. Would love to chat!!

I'm scheduled the 16. We can be buddies.

I'm being sleeved on the 22nd. I'm a bit nervous but I know I'll be better off once I get my weight down. I'm currently on day 4 of the liquid pre-op diet. Looking forward to being past this stage.

I'm also scheduled for gastric sleeve June 22 and would love to be a support pal

@@lisemaria I'd be happy to support you. Feel free to ask questions. There are many great folks on this site.

Thank you !! And I'll be happy to support you too :-)

This stage is a rough one and is completely necessary, you will get through it, only gets easier!!!
