Barryindiana 9 Posted October 11, 2016 It's actually, Paul...my kid did theatrics-play and sang "Gary-Indiana," so I can't get it out of my head regarding this Bari-atrics procedure. Sent from my Moto G (4) using the BariatricPal App Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Diana_in_Philly 1,426 Posted October 11, 2016 Hi there! I'm in Philly and was sleeved on 8/23. Once you have met your team, find out if they have support group meetings. Your support group at your hospital can be a tremendous help. Pre-Op I found the support group meetings to be tremendous. Hoping to get to one next week to talk through some issues I'm dealing with post -op. Best of luck! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
