10/26 Surgery! Anyone interested in a surgery buddy/support group?

Hi there! I'm having my bypass surgery on 10/26 and would like to connect with people that are having bypass surgery on or around the same date so that we can follow each other's journey's. Good luck to everyone!

Two days until surgery and the nerves are kicking in. I keep finding myself thinking about the things I can never have again (goodbye wine), but I quickly remind myself of everything I will be gaining...most importantly an improved quality of life. How are your nerves these days?

I am three days out from surgery. Now at 222.8 so I lost more than the 11 pounds they wanted me to before surgery. I am ready but nervous!

You'll do great! The nerves are normal. I'm on day 3 post op and feel pretty good aside from gas pains.

I am scheduled for 11/8. Would love to connect with others. I’m at the giving up coffee, sugar, solids stage so I’m a super ray of sunshine. You’ve been warned. image.jpeg.06d4464b3df6a1c4e80f4c24b01db8f1.jpeg
