SleevedMegan

Any Sleevers in the RDU area? I'm in the Chapel Hill-Carrboro area. (Surgery Location: Duke Regional Hospital)

How soon after surgery do you all expect to be exercising? My surgery team told me to wait 6-8 weeks to begin weight training/abdominal exercises with weight above 5lbs, but I'd like to start speed walking soon if possible.

Hi all! I'm looking for other young (21-30) QPOC (queer people of color) that have been sleeved or plan to be in the near future. I'd like to connect about our intersectional experiences during our surgery journey! About Me: I'm 26 years old. I identify as pansexual. My pronouns are she/her, and I live in the Chapel Hill-Durham area of North Carolina. Sleeve Stats: VSG Date - Feb. 29, 2016; HW: 300 lbs; DOS: 244 lbs; GW: 145. I look forward to connecting!

Awesome! Dr. Seymour performed my surgery! She is great! I hope your recovery is going well @jadah77. Feel free to contact me if you have any questions @@Pink_Ninja

Thanks Jamie! I think I'll start doing this today if my energy levels are up!

Hi! I'm in North Carolina too! I'm in the Chapel Hill-Durham area. I'm 26, 5'1", and a full-time college student. I had VSG surgery on February 29th. Let me know if you want to connect and have any questions as I am in the very early post-op stage. (8 days post-op)

Hi all! I'm new to Bariatric Pal! I was sleeved on February 29, 2016! Since thats a leap day, I'll probably celebrate my surgiversary on March 1st in the future!
