Looking for preop friends :)

I am currently preop although I have done all my clearances and have my surgery date (9/21). Just looking for some preop friends to talk with up until (and after) surgery. We could help keep eachother on track diet wise, and could help ease any fears we are having. (we all have those fears that our non-overweight friends or spouses just don't quite get). I am located in upstate NY but I am open to talking to anyone from any location. I do have facebook etc if you prefer chatting that way. Who knows, we may become great friends!:)

Hey! I'm Savannah, I'm 20, and I'm having gastric sleeve surgery on September 3rd! I'm really scared because this will be my first major surgery, but if anyone wants to talk, let's!

@@choosehope Congratulations!!! So excited for you!!

@@Savannah Lee Hi Savannah! I am one day before you on 9/2. I'm open to chatting if you'd like some support or to just gab about the future, the journey or anything!! =) Congrats on your surgery date!

Finally, all of my pre-op stuff is done and forwarded to my PCP, who can then do his clearance and send it to the surgeon! The end is in sight! I've had to basically harass my pulmonologist today to get them to fax everything the PCP needs.

Savannah, I've had several surgeries. If you want/need to talk with someone, let me know! I'm here to support you.
