I haven't had my surgery yet but I don't think I could keep my family away if I wanted to. We are a close family and I'm the youngest at 52. Each of my sisters have indicated that they will be at the hospital as well as some friends. I'm ok with that as long as they don't expect me to entertain them.

Hi I'm on July 30! I think that I'm getting to excited and less afraid. I have read and prepared quite a bit. My pre-op liquid started last Wednesday and I'm doing just fine. .

Thank you! I'll continue here because I have found a support group in my area. Look around doom, I've found a lot of current posts. You will do great. It's a long process but before you know it...it will be time. Take care.

We could sit inside too, I know there is booths and chairs but not sure about arms. I can check for you, don't want you to have to do that. No worries I was going that way for a sale The chairs have arms but I'll ask to bring an inside chair out. I'm use to this but one thing I won't miss. See you Wednesday!

Ok, I'm in...I hope the chairs don't have arms. I'll go check tomorrow and report back. Thank you for setting this up again!!!

I can't say you will be issue free but all in all the issues aren't too bad. It is a major surgery. Rest and Fluid and movement are your basics. I vomited for the first 24 hrs and survived just fine. What ones bother you? I had 75 g yesterday and working up today. I have been introducing foods. Just had cheese and deli turkey. No problems. Biggest post sx key is sipping. Constant sipping. It sounds like you are doing well with your protein. I guess I'm afraid of complications. I've never even had stitches. I'm glad that I've had so much pre-op testing. You've had the sleeve, right? It's been a few days of incorporating food, how are you doing? Are you back at work? That is something that concerns me, I have to work but...this is my life and I need to take the right amount of time after surgery. Have you found a place to meet on 7/2 yet?

I'm kind of scared reading about other peoples post issues. I'm ok though. I have about 15 lbs to lose before my surgeons visit. That is going to be 3 weeks before surgery. Working full time while getting ready is tough but I can do this. How are you doing with your protein?

I said that I couldn't come. Im just one person. It is not unusual to have some bumps when any group gets started. I hope that we can have some grace for each other as we go through these changes. Along with body changes, my emotions change with the wind lately. July 2nd is a good time for me and I will show-up.

Hi, I'm planning on coming tomorrow. I am looking forward to the group. Thanks for setting this up.

I'm laura and my Surgery is July 30. I have a stress test tomorrow morn. Nervous... I'm at 393 right now and am down 60. I have about 15 more to lose before surg date. Grateful for a group close by, I'm in Lake Forest. Very cool!!
