Do you know someone who is going to have the lap band or gastric sleeve surgery in the very near future? I had the pleasure of lending my own advice yesterday to a woman who was having the gastric sleeve. It was so nice to be able to talk with her and explain some of things that will be going on. It felt so good to calm & relax her mind. Have you helped someone on your journey?

Maddy, I also think it is important that we help one another on this journey. My best friend had the gastric sleeve, 9 months after my lap band surgery. She struggled a little more than she thought she would, but was glad she chose the sleeve becasue she had been by my side as I struggled to learn how to use my band. She was a great support to me, encouraging me when I was frustrated with my lose and was always there to tell me how good I was doing. Paying that back to her and anyone else is so worth it because unless you have experieinced this you really have no idea. Thanks for sharing!

I so agree with you on the sharing end. I have made myself available to anyone who is wanting to do the sleeve and or is going through it. Its nice to have a shoulder to lean on when times get rough. Through my surgeon Dr. Feiz, I have met other sleevers and we share our experiences together. A few of us have become friends and go out, excerise and share. Thanks for the reply!
