Looking for someone to connect with after surgery

Hey everyone! I'm new for the most part. I'm scheduled for surgery on December 10th and I was hoping to find someone to was getting sleeved right around the same time that would want to talk. For motivation, worries, support, someone who is literally in this process at the same point in time as me. :-)

4millyb, I'm happy to hear you are already pack at work! I've been in so much pain (not nearly as much from.hospital though) that I have to go back in this week to see melt surgeon. I also had problems with my pain meds and 3 different nausea medications. They actually made me do another upper GI thinking I had a leak because I was throwing up bad stuff as well. I'm happy you're off of clear liquids! I'm so jealous. I'm on them until thursday. But I also am hungry cranky person!!!! Especially when I think about food, see food, smell food, it all sucks. Lol come.march 10th I can hopefully be eating normal again but that is so far away! I also was sleeved on the 10th. Good to hear from you. Have you joined the fb group yet?

Looking for a joiner? I was sleeved on Dec 8. 5'7 and 301.5. I was so bummed that I wasn't under 300 before surgery. I did have a hiatal hernia repair. I think I've been more uncomfortable from that then the sleeve surgery. Everyone says they have no post-op hunger but man, I'm hungry. Anyone else????

Hi there. I am 5'6" and 221. I am having the sleeve on 12/28 in tijuana along with a hernia repair. I didn't want to wait the 6 months to do the surgery here, in San Diego. My doctors pre-op diet depended on your BMI, so I only have one day of liquid diet before.
