Any April 2016 VSGers out there?

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.

I just got approved by insurance on April 1. I asked if it was an April Fools joke lol!!! I'm hoping to be scheduled for my surgery this month. They seem to have a fast turn around time once insurance gets approved. I'm kind of freaking out!!!! Lol

I am scheduled for April 18. Im so overwhelmed with emotions, having a few people who know what im going through would be awesome

I'm April 18th as well! Can't say I'm excited yet, very nervous about what will become of myself. There are so many questions that can't be answered until it's done--I've never been great with "We'll see!"

Tomorrow (April 5th) is my date! I sent you a message also. Thank you for setting up a group for all of us!

April 28
