SillyOleMe 32 Posted April 8, 2016 https://www.facebook.com/groups/1698004373821700/ I started a Facebook group for anyone who wants to connect on social media! ️ Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App I do but is it private? Sent from my SM-N910P using the BariatricPal App Yes of course, I made it a closed group! No one can see what you post, if people would like I can make it secret but that means no one else can search for the group to join.

NurseMichael 142 Posted April 8, 2016 Just curious how many times have you all seen your surgeon before your surgery. Ive only had one appointment with mine the initial consult. Next time i see him will be on the day...i kinda feel unprepared or something. Sent from my SM-G920I using the BariatricPal App I will have about 3 total w/ my surgeon... the other times it's been the nurse practitioner who approved/schedule me... Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G530AZ using the BariatricPal App > Hey guys. I'm turning 40 tomorrow and having the surgery on May 18th. Been back and forth on this decision for over 5 years and finally pullin the trigger. Would really appreciate a buddy or 2 or 3 to go through this with. Anyone up for supporting a 40 year old male nurse through the process. I'm also willing to help any who need it. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App Also 5/18... what made you finally decide to go thru with surgery ?
