christinesmiles 4 Posted November 6, 2015 Hello All, New to this forum. Just received my insurance approval and my sleeve surgery is scheduled for 12/16/15. Nervous and excited and would love support on this journey and hope I can offer you all support too! I am in the suburbs of Chicago. I was interested to read that many of you are not planning on telling people about your surgery. I've been thinking about how to handle this, I'm a very open person about most things but for some reason feel really strange telling people that I'm not close to about my surgery. All my family will know and my close friends but it's co-workers and casusal friends that I don't know how to handle. Would love to hear thoughts on this subject. I look forward to going through this journey together. Kindly, Christine Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

amyg80 45 Posted December 10, 2015 I was sleeved 12/1! Going great so far! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
KendyLou 15 Posted December 21, 2015 Mine was done 12/15. So far, so good but it's a rough go of it when no one else around you has had it done. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

lyfromsj 7 Posted December 27, 2015 Hi I am new to this site too. My surgery is scheduled for Jan 14th. I was wondering how to tell people too. I am a very private person. My family and a few close friends know. That's all. I don't know what to tell people when I start losing weight. Any insight would be greatly appreciated.

1Cor2:9 193 Posted January 5, 2016 Perhaps I am late to the party, but I had surgery on Dec. 16th. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Amyz_G 1 Posted January 5, 2016 I had my sleeve on Dec 21st in Cola, SC. I really seem to be struggling with depression over food and not being able to eat like I used too. I feel so helpless. I feel like I've made a mistake with this surgery. Not sure what to do, anyone else experiencing similar issues? Thanks in Advance Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
