Hi everyone im looking for a sleeve buddy to write to about experiences my surgery is july 16 cause no family or friend understand why im doing this...... just looking for positivity

Thanks

Hi Tinab08, I'm having the sleeve done around mid-August. My family does not know and therefore I am also looking for a buddy to share experiences with. I'm new to this forum:)

I just went for my first consultation today. I haven't told anyone, I don't want anyone to talk me out of it. None of my family or friends have weight issues like mine, so I don't feel they'll understand.

I'm no where near having my surgery scheduled yet, but I understand the way you are feeling.

Where are y'all located? I'm in Oklahoma.

Im in new jersey

Florida

I could use a buddy as well I'm new here and one more test to be completed before my docs are submitted to my insurance company

i am post op but always looking to make new friends!

you def create a bond with people who get sleeved, before my surgery I just wanted to talk about it, mourn my food and my body....its hard to explain to non sleevers!

all of you feel free to add me as a friend

we can chat and I'm a great listener!

I am in Texas btw

You can private message me anytime. I wish u all the best of luck. You will succeed and this is a great place that is supportive. I am the 31st. Just got approved

Great to see there's ppl from all over! I'm new to this site so I'm trying to figure out if you 'add friends' like fb or if you just have to msg ppl?

if you click on my name you can get the option to add me

Ahh... I have added y'all as friends. It couldn't be done thru the phone app... I had to go to Web View. I'm Stephanie, 37 yrs old from OKlahoma and so excited about my journey! Bear with me as I'm a little techno-tarded☺️

I love meeting new ppl and am glad I stumbled upon this group!

I'm July 16th as well. What kind of preop diet do u have to do? Mine is 7 days full liquid and 3 days clear liquid (total 10 days). I'm now regretting working up to my surgery date because I feel so weak, ha. Did I mention the clear liquids had to be sugar-free?

I will receive my sleeve on the same day....July 16th I'll be your buddy...????????????
