Hello! I was sleeved on April 13! I'm trying to get a group of Boston people together to hang out , talk, swap stories, progress, recipes, etc. I've found since I had my surgery that a lot of my friends have become distant and stopped including me in stuff because they think I can't eat or drink. This app is great and all, but I figured a group meeting together sort of like our own support group, would be great! We could plan outings and stuff like that?! If anyone is interested, let me know!! Thanks .... Dawn

Let your friends know know you still can, you want to be there to enjoy their company. You can eat what you are allowed to at the appropriate stages and bring home the leftovers in a box.

If they are doing this because they incorrectly feel you would be pressured to eat or drink, that is very nice.

If they are doing this because they feel guilty about eating or drinking to excess and you are a reminder of what they should be doing, then they are doing you a favor.

I'm out on the Vineyard and have a surgery date of 7/18 at B&W. I'd love to stay in touch for future potential support gatherings. I know I'm not in Boston, but I do go there fairly regularly.

I live in Metrowest and work in down town Boston. Had my sleeve yesterday! Made it through the first night pretty well.

Boston Medical Center has a monthly support group for bariatric patients in Quincy. You don't have to be a BMC patient to attend and many young women (problably in their late 20s/ early 30s) spend time together outside of the group.
