Any other November sleevers out there?

I'm scheduled for Nov. 21st. I'm not going to lie. I'm a lot anxious about post-opt.

I've read too many posts about complications and difficulties. Honestly, it sounds horrifying.

I live in Austin, Texas. Are there any support groups here?

Thanks.

    I am also scheduled for Nov 9th. Getting a little nervous but also very excited. Trying to get everything taken care of before next week. I will keep everyone posted as to my progress.

    I'm counting the days! Time is flying! Good luck

    Good Luck to everyone :)

    I am scheduled for November 28. I am very scared and excited at the same time.

    Which Protein powders have people tried and liked? I found a sample pack of nectar on Amazon that has 15 flavors. I also ordered the unflavored Isopure to mix in with other foods. Does anyone have any other suggestions?

    I'm also on the 22nd! Just did my pre-op blood work this morning. Won't start my 2 week pre-op diet until the 8th, so three days left of "regular" eating. I'm beginning to get anxious, too -- but I'm so excited on the other hand. Regardless, I'm ready!

    Best of luck, lots of healing and positive vibes to all of you this month!!

    I'm in Austin too. Nov 14 surgery date. I know of a support group at St Davids that's on the last Monday every month. There are others in town I'm sure. You might check with your surgeons office or hospital to see if they have a local group but I'm sure you could attend this one. Why not!
