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

I would love to have some buddies! I even posted how I have little support! My mom nor sisters understand (they have never weighed over 150)

I just really got my 3 babies and 3 more iffy' s now.

But imma do this! It helps having this forum! My mind is so consumed with getting this surgery now and it's sad when you have no one to really talk to.

I'm at the end stages of my pre op testing and looking forward to a Sept/Oct date.

Good for you!! I am in the same boat:)

I have found that there is plenty of support here..good luck to you

Hi all. I to need friends. Should we all email each other separate or in group?

Im in Canada with little support.

My email address is leawar0117@hotmail.com

Tina I can totally relate. My mom becomes instantly INFURIATED if the topic of surgery is brought up. I decided to bring a friend/therapist with me because I knew she could provide the positivity I need during the pre and post op. Cheers to new friendships!

New to this ... Had my first appointment on the 16th ... And I too am looking for friends that are on this journey! My best friend and brother know and they're very supportive.

I am in southern California, but originally from NY. 8/3 that's the day, getting s nervous, excited, scared, I guess we all get these different emotions. Good luck to everyone, hope we all do well, Sue

Why Everybody else diet starts 1- 2 weeks before surgery. The hospital I'm going to ask to go on liquid diet 2 days before surgery

Every hospital has different guideline. I was sleeve at NYP on 5/29/15 and did a 2 week diet prior to surgery

Hi all, upper Manhattan here. 7 weeks post op. I was sleeved 5/29/15 at NY Presbyterian.

SW 305

CW 232

Definitely agree yes every hospital and every doctor is different. For example my pre-opt liquid diet was only 24 hours before surgery.
