sharonraley12 4 Posted October 15, 2014 I think a Skype group would be great. I am 4 weeks out and am seeing weight go up and down. Not happy. I had a dream last night that I had this surgery and a year later was still fat. I woke crying and can not get it out of my head. So depressed Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

CANOEINNH 15 Posted October 26, 2014 I'd like to be part of this group. I had my surgery on Sept 29 and was ok at first. Thought I would cruise thru with no issues. No vomiting or nausea. Emotions tripped me up. Doc says I need to slow down. Trying. Shifted my work schedule to half days. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ehark 1 Posted October 26, 2014 Welcome I to thought that this journey would be much different the day after surgery I regret what I did cause I was in so much pain I said to myself what the hell did I just do. But I knew that I did the right thing for the long run and that what I did it for the long run the rest of my life . Yes the emotions are a trip They go up and down all over the place but hang in there it gets better . I haven't gone back to work as yet still trying to deal with this new way of life Its been trying but I have no choice but to keep going forward still on soft foods and liquids clothes fit different thats a good sign thus far. Hang in there it gets better . Ok Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Jaudon 12 Posted November 16, 2014 I'd love to join in a Skype (or text) buddy group! My sleeve date is 12/16 - exactly one month from today! I am so excited and nervous and scared, all at the same time, and it would be amazing to have other people to chat with who understand the conflicting emotions and the whole process. Please PM me for my Skype info if it's still open! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
