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

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!!!

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.

Thank you LaNae! Sending you a request now!

I was not able to friend her. Someone please post the URL to the secret group. Or pm me.

Yes @@JapGirl, I've tried it, I've tried like 10 different brands but thank you.

To join the Feb 2016 secret Facebook group:Since it's a secret group there is some hoops to go through to get added (sorry, Facebook makes it harder) The good thing is that it's completely secret meaning none of your friends can know see posts or ever know you're in it  This makes it a safe place for us because I know for some it's not something they want to share. Here's how to join:

1. Go to https://www.facebook.com/lanaepetersen and send me a friend request

2. I will accept the friend request, then send you an invite to the group.

3. After you are added to the group I'll unfriend 

@jantra12...how are you????

@jantra12...how are you????

I got home after 6 days in the hospital. Still a lot of pain... On tpn feedings and fluids. And annoying drain. But at least I'm home!! Will be better when I can try to drink something, which will probably be s couple more weeks.
