Surgery buddies? Lower bmi, early thirties

Hi friends! I'm getting super excited to get sleeved in September! I just wanted to reach out and see if anyone wanted to be sleeve buddies? I don't know ANYONE who has had the surgery in my personal life- I plan on attending some local support groups here in Virginia, but would love a buddy from on here to chat with about your process.

anyone like me? 230 lbs, 5'6", 30 year old, teacher turned stay at home mom. Getting sleeved September 18!

Good luck everyone on your journey!

I've heard that the first couple weeks are the worst, but after that, life is good! :) Let me know how it's going! I love hearing other people's stories. It gets me so excited to start my own!
