Hi everyone,

I was sleeved July17th and everything went ok. I will be starting soft foods this week and I am getting my Protein in through shakes. I am still struggling with Water but I am slowly increasing. My biggest problem is anxiety, or just a feeling of loss of control. I could use a pal that understands the after surgery emotions.

Hi, I am from the Hurricane, WV area. I am going through St. Marys WLC with Dr. Robarts as my surgeon. I have not had surgery yet, but am close. I have jumped through the hoops. Just waiting on a medical situation to be resolved and ins. submission. Hoping for October surgery. Would love to follow your journey with you.

Thank you so much for your reply, it sounds like you know exactly how I feel. It helps me to know that there is light at the end of this tunnel.
