Merrill1955 4 Posted April 5, 2015 Hi. Have you had your surgery yet? None of my friends are supporting me with my decision. My best friend hasn't spoken to me since I told her a couple of days ago. I'm very excited about having the surgery on May 11th. I would love to make a "sleeve" buddy, for support. My brother will take care of me for a week afterwards. That God for him.

Lisawls 3 Posted April 8, 2015 Hi Merrill1955,My surgery is 5/14, what part of FL are you in? I'm in St Pete but going to Mexico for my surgery. I am only telling one or 2 people because I feel it's my struggle & only a select few will know. Good luck with everything! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Merrill1955 4 Posted April 8, 2015 I live in Boca Raton, Florida. I've only told a few people. I haven't gotten much support at this end. I'm very excited about May 11th. I've already started dieting and walking. Good luck on your surgery. How long will you stay in Mexico for? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
feelthefire 0 Posted April 22, 2015 I live in Orlando. Had my sleeve on April 15. Didn't tell anyone but my husband, step daughter and godmother. Flew to Mexico alone- Dr. Ortiz and the whole staff at the Obesity Center of Excellence were great. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

gmanbat 5,889 Posted April 24, 2015 In the end you must be your own support. Those that have great respect for your intelligence will stand behind you. Those that feel superior to you will look at you with downcast eyes. Those that love you may express concern for your welfare but will stick with you. Operations like this would have been much more difficult were it not for the support of great forums like this one. You are certainly not alone. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
