needing surgery buddies

My surgery is February 19th. Anyone around that day? I'm getting nervous and am looking for someone to bond with over this.

Hi Joni Lynn

My bypass is on feb. 8th. Not exactly the same day as you, but I'm sure your excited, nervous, and ready to just get the "show on the road"! I know I am all of those things.

Are you starting your pre-op diet anytime soon? I start mine this Sunday the 24th.

I wish you and everyone that is a February surgery case the best of luck and great success ????

My surgery date is also February 8th!! I just joined this group last night. I'm having lots of jitters now that the date is just around the corner!!!

I know what you mean!! I'm trying to get everything ready for post op: protein powder, clear liquids, the right size containers, etc. during all this preparation, trying not to let my nerves get the best of me????!! We all work hard to get to this point, and now that it's here, it's like "Okay, this is really happening!" It's exciting, relieving, scary, and happy all rolled into one big ball of emotion.

I should get to schedule mine this week or week after. Hoping for end of feb.

Hey everyone im looking for buddies as well. Im so excited for all of you. I just recently had my gastric bypass on Jan 12th. Im 2 weeks out now and need some buddies for encouragement. Visaversa

Yess! now that it's right around the corner it is kind of like a dream-phase and I'm sure it will be more surreal as I get closer and actually get to the hospital!

This is a closed/secret group for everyone who is going to have bypass surgery in February 2016!

We would LOVE to have you join in wit us! Just go to Facebook and search my name LaNae Davis Petersen, send me a friend request. I can then send you an invite to secret page and then I'll remove you back off my friends list :)

It's meant to be a positive group who we can all be going through the same things at the same tim on this journey! The goals will be to provide support, bounce questions off each other, have somewhere safe to share on the days that aren't so great, and share our victories on this journey!

MOST importantly it's all confidential, unless you are in this group people can't see the group, who's in it or what the posts are.
