UPDATE: the page is now called Spring 2016 VSGers because there were so many awesome people outside of April that I wanted to add! So send me a message & friend request on Facebook if you want to join [Alea Birbeck, same pic as here]!

I'm putting together a "secret" support group on Facebook for folks who are being sleeved the same month as me - my surgery date is April 15th. I'm not going public with the fact that I'm having surgery, so it's important to me that the group doesn't show up on my personal fb page.

I've been told by a friend who had her vsg surgery April 2013 that her similar support group has been fantastic - a group of people all going through the same thing, a safe place for questions and sharing experiences, etc. She actually added me to her "April 2013" secret group and they're a great group, I can see the appeal!

I'm looking forward to building a great network of people to go through this journey with! <3 lemme know if you're interested.

Hi bluemangos, I was just told this am that my surgery will be the middle of April but I originally thought it was in March so I joined that page but I am an April sleever, nice to meet you. What state are you from, I'm from Delaware

Hey there! I'm in Florida :-) if you want to join the Facebook group send me a friend request - Alea Birbeck, profile pic = my smiling face - and I'll add you :-)

Ok, kool. Panama City is my home.

Hi I am new here. I requested a late April date but it has not been confirmed yet.

Hi ginapooh! April can't come soon enough :-) hopefully you'll get your date confirmed soon. If you want to join the April 2016 VSGers Facebook page find me & friend me (Alea Birbeck, profile pic = my smiling face)

FYI, there are more posts from April Sleevers in the Buddies/Mentors section.

Excellent! I'll check that out. I like this website but it's so compartmentalized :-)

Hi all I just found out that my surgery is March 8... I would love to join a group like this. Can someone point me in the right direction!!!!

TIA

Can you add me to the April group, please? I get sleeved on the 30th of March but that's like April right? On Facebook my name is Brenda Melecio Garcia that's actually my name, I live in Florida too:)
