Hi! Looking for a sleeve buddy... my surgery date is 12/4. I'm 34 and 325 and 5'7. Looking for someone with similar stats and goals. My surgeon predicts my goal weight to be 180 ?. Unfortunately, I don't have a lot of friends or family that understand what I'm going through and it's been tough so far... feeling alone. But I'm a super positive person that's looking to make the best life change ever. If you feel the same, let's be buddies ?

We don't have similar stats but we are being sleeved the same day [emoji7] I'm 44, 282 & 5'2.

My surgery date is pending and I’m hoping it will be December 4th. I’ve been doing the preop diet since October so I’m ready to go as soon as I get the funds to schedule and book my flight to MX. My stats are closer to cc1018. It’s getting close!!

I've had the same experience when I had the lap band 6 years ago and then now with the sleeve. We can all pitch in together to be buddies if that works for you? I'm 61 and right now I'm at 265 and goal weight is 140. Feeling alone with no support is a trigger for failure. We cannot accept failure and must stick to this life change for success in our lives and health. Your future is waiting for you!! Don't think me being 61 that I'm too old, people think I'm around 40-45 and I'm mommy to my grandkids. I just hope I can keep that look when I lose weight!

Hi Sunbunny!

I’m 32/295/5’7 - is A/W/H the new A/S/L? [emoji68]‍[emoji335]

I’m getting the sleeve 12/19 and definitely looking for a pal in this process as well.

How has the liquid diet been going for you? Are you pumped for next week?

My surgery is now scheduled for 12/9. Woot woot!!

Lol @JessNYC at the A/S/L thing. I thought the same when I wrote this post. I'm officially sleeved now. Still can't believe I did it!

I'm one of the lucky ones that didn't have to do a liquid diet. I was surprised but super grateful not to have to do it.

I had the sleeve Monday. I'm 35 - 252lbs - 5'3". I'm doing well with recover. The gas is the most painful part.

So happy it went well for you. I have mine today I’m having the Duodenal Switch.

Ambitious question - I am stuck in NY for the holidays, and not able to go home to CA. I want to maybe see some plays and make good use of winter in NY, but am hesitant to expend the $$ if I won't feel up to it. For those recently sleeved, a week in, how viable is it to sit for 2-3 hours in a play?

Hi Sunbunny,

How is your recovery going? I am in Fl also and my stats are somewhat close to yours except for height. I started out over 400 lbs. I'm also close in age. It may be tough to do a number of things while you're recovering, so try to be patient as you go through the process. If you have any questions drop a message anytime. Also getting close to getting under 300 for the first time in at least 10 years or more.

I was sleeved on 12/5 and wanted to go to a movie today but didn't, not because I didn't feel like I could do it, just doing other things. Have fun in NY, a great place for the holidays. Was your surgery in NY?

@Roadrunner 1 recovery is going good! Finally starting to feel normal. I was really tired and nauseous last week but I got thru it ?.

Finally had some real "food" -- yogurt and some cream of chicken.... nice change compared to all clear liquids and protein shakes. ?

Oh and I'm already down 12 pounds! Huge win ??
