kimkw 7 Posted February 29, 2016 UPDATE: the page is now called Spring 2016 VSGers because there were so many awesome people outside of April that I wanted to add! So send me a message & friend request on Facebook if you want to join [Alea Birbeck, same pic as here]! I'm putting together a "secret" support group on Facebook for folks who are being sleeved the same month as me - my surgery date is April 15th. I'm not going public with the fact that I'm having surgery, so it's important to me that the group doesn't show up on my personal fb page. I've been told by a friend who had her vsg surgery April 2013 that her similar support group has been fantastic - a group of people all going through the same thing, a safe place for questions and sharing experiences, etc. She actually added me to her "April 2013" secret group and they're a great group, I can see the appeal! I'm looking forward to building a great network of people to go through this journey with! <3 lemme know if you're interested. Yes, yes. Very interested. Going from band to sleeve in April. Please include me. Let me know how to connect Sent from my SM-G900P using the BariatricPal App Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
