I had trouble too but I found it. Here's how I found it on the mobile version of FB....

I went on my main FB feed page.

At the very top there is a search option.

Type in:BP August 2016

At the top of this search are the options Top, Latest, People... Etc.

If you keep scrolling over you will see "Groups"

Click on Groups and it pops right up.

I am scheduled to be sleeved August 10th. This is my 1st post although I have been lurking since May. Lol. I have a question, when we state our stats do we list our HW as our heaviest weight ever or our weight at first appt with the surgeon or? I live in Kent, WA a suburb of Seattle. Excited about August 10th date, it's 5 days after my 62nd birthday.

5'3"

HW (ever) 350+

May 2 Weigh in at Surgeons 310 lb

CW 285 lb.

I think you can put whichever you want. Lots of people lose weight during the process of the supervised diet and all, so not every pound lost you see on profiles is from only the surgery.

Mine is August 19th. My insurance won't cover this so it seems to have been a very short time since I made the decision to have the surgery. I started the process last week of May. I'm not sure what else I have to do before the surgery. I have a three hour appointment on August 3 where I guess I'll be told all the details.

August 19th here too. I start liquid diet August 5th

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
