ssflbelle 829 Posted December 7, 2015 I do not see but one posting this year 2015. Is the group still active or have you all moved to another location? I have looked around but do not see any other 300+ pound groups or forums. I also was looking for wheelchair bound sleevers but didn't see any group like that either. I believe those of us who are wheelchair bound and over 300 have unique challenges that the lower weights do not have. Having others to talk too and discuss new ways of doing things would be helpful in additional to the emotional support for such a long journey. I hope some of the newer ones who joined this group this year and those who have lost their weight already will come forward. Maybe we can get the group posting again Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Klolojadie 46 Posted December 20, 2015 I just joined this group today and can't find any recent activity I just had RNY on Monday and I'm needing support from people going through this too. I'm having a hard time finding groups as well, have you found any good ones that are more active? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ssflbelle 829 Posted December 21, 2015 Hi Klolojadie and Niki I have not had my sleeve yet. I seem to be caught in a catch 22 between my surgeon and my PCP. The surgeon will not give me a date until I get medical clearance and the PCP will not give me medical clearance till he gets a date. On Thursday my surgeon gave my PCP a dummy date for the mid of Jan but I was told it wouldn't be until Feb sometime as the surgeon only operates 8 days a month. This is very disappointing to me as I finished my 6 month supervised diet on Nov 23 and I was ready to get this done like the first week of Jan. I am going to be 60 on Jan 24th and wanted the sleeve before my 60th birthday. However I guess I can't make it happen so I will try to continue to eat high Protein and low carb until I can get it done. I hope both of your surgeries went well and neither one of you had complications. KloloJadie what phase are you on, Clear Liquids? How are you feeling, any pain? Is the gas gone by now. Niki you have lost a lot for 4 months. That is great!! Are you able to feel the changes? What can you do now that you couldn't do 4 months ago? If no one else is active here we can at least support each other despite having different surgeries. Hope to hear back from you both. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
