Thanks all! My doc does have a monthly meetup for his post-op patients. Hopefully, I can find long-time sleevers there.....as they can better help keep the experience in perspective.

I personally choose to not tell anyone but my wife about my VGS surgery. Currently planned for 4/30/18. There are some ignorant people on both sides of my family. If I tell them....and they get ignorant....I might have to kick their axs. So...for their sake....I will keep it under wraps. If all goes well with the surgery, I'm hoping I can go back to work (office job) by one-week post op. Any advice on how to handle situations with family, friends, and co-workers when having dinner together? How do I conceal how little I'm eating and the fact that I don't have a glass of wine or a beer? Has any long-time sleevers here ever drank a full beer? Thanks, Dave
