So many great forums and groups to link up with I’m new and already a little addicted to this app as well as everyone’s story and journey. My journey began early January and my projected surgery date is in May. I love to link up with others who are dates are close to mine just to encourage each other. I’ve already talk to some awesome people in my short time on here. I started vlogging my journey on YouTube right from the beginning so if anyone is interested check it out https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCoDS8UYKi9Wu1__0j9qJ8rA

I plan to continue sharing up to and well after surgery all my feelings and experiences. Hopefully it helps someone like me or not like me at all. I’m So happy for everyone taking charge of their lives! We are incredible people.

I'm almost ready for tomorrow. Im just worried about the blood thinner shot in the stomach [emoji31][emoji31]

Try to worry, they don’t hurt a bit! Good luck ?

I watched a gastric sleeve surgery on YouTube and now I am bit scared of the surgery. My Dr will be using the Davinci Robot to conduct the surgery. What if the electricity in the hospital goes out? What if I wake up? I ask myself these questions. Anyone want to chime in?

All hospitals have backup generators so no need to worry!

Hey guys I had surgery on Friday and it’s been tough but thanks for everyone’s support. My sleeve sister@bgrundee and I are both trying to get through first few days of post-op. Different experiences but some things very similar... please keep us in your prayers. I vlogged my surgery day and hospital stay up until release so go check it out on you tube. Here is the link to my page https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCoDS8UYKi9Wu1__0j9qJ8rA?app=desktop&persist_app=1&noapp=1 You May have to copy and paste. It’s everything I could video in the raw. I will check in later trying to keep it together and get the fluids in is really tough.
