Hi I got sleeved in March but haven't lost much weight.

[Cherrie Avery 2]

Hi I am scheduled for surgery on August 11 and would love to have some support. I am having the gastric sleeve and I am 54 years old.

Mine surgery is the same date. I'm 58 and live in Louisiana. Let's keep in touch and share our journey.

I'm having the surgery Monday, I am 57 years old and live in Southern California. I will let you know how it goes and what works for me and what does not afterwards. Getting very nervous, worried, and excited all in one, still feels a little unreal

I want to play with this group!! I am brand new to this site, joined yesterday and have been lurking and reading from all the wonderful information being shared!!

I'm 51, awaiting my official approval (insurance company told me today on the phone I'm approved and my letter is "going out"...), I don't have a surgery date yet... I still have one more hurdle to get over - a stress test - and the cardiologist is going to have me wear a monitor next week for a potential murmur or palpitation?? and the then I'll have the stress test Aug 14th... so I know surgery will be after that. I am traveling 6 hours away for my surgery so I won't be in a local support group (at least not regularly)... The surgery will be in Huntsville, AL where my parents live so mom can take care of me post-op (I'm not dumb, I know a good thing when I see it!!!) My mom is a much better care taker than my hubby or 17 yr old son who would spend more time wanting to know when I'll be back to taking care of them This is ALL about me!!!

Good luck with your stress test. My surgery is August 27th and I'm travelong 3 hours to San Francisco to have my operation. I plan on driving every other month to the support group. I'm going to therapy once a week to work on my food issues. Welcome to the group.

[melgar83 11]

I need help with my food issues

[lessbev 9]

Your in the right place. There is a lot of great information on the boards. Try to find a support group in your area. I know I have to come to terms with my relationship with food to have long term success. I read the success stories and see what other people are doing. I look at it as baby steps and the gastric sleeve is another tool to help me loose weight and get healthy.

Thanks lessbev
