Did you want me to add you to our Local FB page? Just PM or post your email address if you do. How did surgery go for you? Are you still in the hospital or are you home already? Hope for smooth recovery for you.

Trisha please add me on FB. My name is Kelly (Lovier) Fitzgerald. My surgery will be at Royal Oak Beaumont in Michigan in March.

Kelly, I attempted to find you but I wasn't able to. If you want to send me your email address either on here or in a PM I will add you though, or if you want to search me I can add you too. My e-mail is tkure08@hotmail.com .... I did PM someone who had the same name, but their settings were Private so I couldnt add at all.

If you can either give me your email address, or add me tkure08@hotmail.com I can add you to the group. Its a private and secret group so you wont be able to search for it. :-)

I would like to be added to the group too. My surgery date is March 7th. On FB its Yvonne Hampton Alexander. My surgery will be at Beaumont Royal Oak

Okay all! I think I messaged and added everyone that I hadn't before. Sorry for the delay.

A few questions were asked, and it is definelty different for every single person and I posted in the FB page but I'll try to answer as many as I can, and if you need in depth answers or specifics dont be discouraged to message me, I wish there was someone I could talk to and ask questions when I was going through this entire process.

1. I was Sleeved Oct. 19, Since then I have lost a total of 48.8lbs but SO MANY INCHES. :-)

2. I was in the hospital for 2 nights, and almost a 3 because I wasn't able to drink/eat what they wanted right away ( I couldn't even get in 2 oz an hour of liquids.

3. I was off of work for 6 weeks. I was not allowed to drive for 4 weeks. I only took pain meds ( Tylenol 3) the days I was in the hospital and the first week after surgery. We were suppose to take 2 every 6 hours as needed for pain, I only took 1 every 6-10 hours as needed.

4. I have no regrets.

5. My first seminar was in Jan 2015, I met with the surgeon the first time Jun 3 2015, Psych Eval- late June, Exercise clinic was late july, seminar again early september, general surgery clearance was in early July... Met with the surgeon a few other times in between all of that. Had a nutrition class three different times in all of this too! and then Surgery. My entire process was 10 month long.

Awesome job with the weight loss!

Hi- sorry bout that. I'm not real FB savy. My name is Kelly (Lovier) Fitzgerald on FB. I think my page is set to private cuz I'm in Law Enforcement so I don't have anything public. Please try again to see if you can add me. If not, I'll have my teenager help me find you ????

You can't be added as a friend so add me LaWanda Mack and I will add you to the group and then you can unfriend me ☺️

Hi Lawanda and Trish, I think I figured it out. I changed my privacy setting on FB so you should be able to friend me Kelly (Lovier) Fitzgerald. Lawanda I tried to friend you but the add tab was greyed out so I couldn't. Trish I'm not sure how to search by email. What is your name on FB so I can try to friend you.
