Hi FannyF,

I'm not sure why it's not letting you. I sent you an invite yesterday to join. I just tried again this morning, but it said invite already sent. Let me know if you got it. If not, I'll try to find out why and get you on. I'm assuming you will receive a notifcation of an invite. Double check your notifications. Talk to you soon!

I did send you an invite yesterday and I cannot send another one, it won't let me. I'm not sure how the invite is sent to you, since I was the one setting it up and did not receive one.

Can anyone please let us know how you received the invite to the group we just created "April Sleeve Buddies."

Hi Everyone!!

I created a group yesterday called, "April Sleeve Buddies." For those that expressed interest, I sent you an invite. If you have not received or cannot locate your invite from me, I will tell you how to retrieve your invite soon. I just sent a "help" message and hopefully, they will get back to me quickly. I cannot send another invite to you, it will not allow me to duplicate. I will post as soon as I find out.

I'm sorry this is happening!! I didn't forget you, I promise ;) .

I received the invite and joined! This is great! Thank you for creating it. I have the ipad app and the invite was under my "conversations" tab. It gave me the link to join and brought me to the forum which I then joined to follow.

I'm actually going thru Obands Surgery Center. A few of the girls at work went thru them, so they referred me over. I probably would have gone thru Dr. Teng if I'd have known I'd be living on this side of town now, since he is out of Mountainview.

Dr. Teng works with Hanna in Desert Springs, that's actually how I found Dr. Hanna. What were your co-workers experiences?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
