Hello everyone I'm in deep need for friends/buddies for support, encouragement, and accountability. It would be nice to have someone that is going through it with me to compare but it doesn't matter.

Kinda like I lost a friend lol. HW 227 CW 208. I started at gym last week. Still have 2 weeks off work RN. Best decision I ever made. I'm here for anyone to talk

I'm in Tampa and also going through TGH with Gonzalvo. Surgery date is 12/15/16

@@Monica K Awesome!! Are you excited I'm nervous and excited but trying to stay stress free so I can have the best recovery possible. Did you pick the date that far out or was that just the next available?

@@mylastchance21 I'm very excited and nervous. I picked that date so I could limit the amount of time I had to take off work. Figured I could also use the Christmas holiday to rest and recover. When do you start the two week liquid diet prior to surgery. Your date is around the corner. What other things are you doing to prepare. Are there certain things we need to pack for the hospital?

Can anyone tell me how to put something out there lol meaning the only thing on this site I can figure out is how to reply, how do I ask questions, if someone wouldn't mind helping
