I am having a revision from sleeve to bypass due to severe acid reflux issue. When I had my sleeve, I was on a forum here and a girl introduced me to a closed/secret group on Facebook. All of the members on there had surgery the same month, so we all were going through the same things at the same time. As a result we have formed friendships in addition to support.

Is there a group for Feb 2016 patients?

Having bypass in February? We are starting a closed/secret group on Facebook and would LOVE to have you join us.

2 years ago I had a sleeve done, but due to complications they are revising me from sleeve to bypass. I had an AMAZING group on Facebook that all had the same surgery that month. We were going through the same things whether it was venting one day, sharing milestones, and made lasting friendships!

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
