Need a buddy for a surgery date of 5/31/16

I m in Northern California with a surgery date of May 31st. I will be finally having the Gastric Sleeve I say finally because this is my 3rd doctor and had to have an UGI and upper endoscopy before she would okay my surgery. I did not want the bypass which because of my GERD the first two said no. After finding "several" polyps in my stomach a bypass is no longer on the table. I am nervous, scared, excited, stressed and worried. My adult children are not happy I am doing this. Even my long time friend is cold to the idea. My sister in law had her surgery last year in Mexico and had many buddies. I am going through my husband's health insurance. I have attended a meeting but had company this month and was unable. I only had 12 days notice for this surgery.

Did you have the surgery done?

I wish I was on here more frequently so I could have seen this. How are you doing?

my surgery was on May 31st, just a little over 5 weeks ago. I am feeling more like myself now. Trying to get the Water in and the calories up. I have been averaging 500 to 600 calories a day this week. Definitely headed in right direction. Saw the dr yesterday and was told to get my caloric intake up as well as my Protein. Thank you for asking. Did you have the surgery?

Seems like you are doing pretty good now. Are you getting more support from your family now as well?

Yes I had my surgery back in 2012. I lost about 100 in total and I am working to take another 20 off. That's a tough 20 to get off that's for sure.
