MsVictorious1020 497 Posted March 27, 2013 Hello all. I'm new to the site looking to beef up my support system to keep me focused on my new way of life. My sleeve date is scheduled for 04/04/13. I'm beyond excited for so many reasons. I want to be as open and honest with myself and others about my journey so I can be successful in conquering the lifelong battle of the bulge. I love reading everyone's threads to learn more about what's to come. Looking forward to making friends. 4 Suazo91, mrsmo33, annabelle and 1 other reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

MsVictorious1020 497 Posted March 27, 2013 Thank you ladies. I'm so pumped. I know it's an entire lifestyle change and a commitment to be healthier but I'm ready. I've joined another online forum and I've learned so very much. The support and encouragement has been amazing. I feel like an idiot but I just can't stop thinking/talking about my surgery. The stories and pictures are so inspiring. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

MsVictorious1020 497 Posted March 27, 2013 Forgive my ignorance but I'm using the iPhone app to this site. How do you "friend" someone. Also for all my fellow Texans, who are your surgeons? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Museum-Mama 196 Posted March 28, 2013 Forgive my ignorance but I'm using the iPhone app to this site. How do you "friend" someone. Also for all my fellow Texans' date=' who are your surgeons?[/quote'] I am on my iPad now, and I don't think you can add friends on the mobile apps. If we can, I havent figured it out either. :/. Once you get to a computer, click on a persons profil pic to go to their profile. In the top right will be an "Add as friend" button. I am using Dr. Stowers with My Bariatric Solutions. I am so impressed with the care and attention from the first time you ever contact them. I highly recommend them! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sunshine4ever 6 Posted March 28, 2013 Hi!! My date is 4/3 however I'm not from Texas but I'll be flying there as I'm having surgery in Mexico. I didn't know you could friend people as I've only used this via app on phone! I'm learning so much every time I get on here I love that! Good luck to you next week! 2 MsVictorious1020 and annabelle reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
