Surgery buddies? Lower bmi, early thirties

[fraddiefrank 13]

Hi friends! I'm getting super excited to get sleeved in September! I just wanted to reach out and see if anyone wanted to be sleeve buddies? I don't know ANYONE who has had the surgery in my personal life- I plan on attending some local support groups here in Virginia, but would love a buddy from on here to chat with about your process.

anyone like me? 230 lbs, 5'6", 30 year old, teacher turned stay at home mom. Getting sleeved September 18!

Good luck everyone on your journey!

Great!! I have mild gas pains, sutures don't hurt and I haven't experienced any hunger. Yey!!! Lets see how my first two weeks go. I can't believe I finally had surgery!

I've heard that the first couple weeks are the worst, but after that, life is good! Let me know how it's going! I love hearing other people's stories. It gets me so excited to start my own!

Teachers turn stay at home moms are the BEST! so excited for you! I never want to wish time away, but I am impatiently waiting to be two months out! I know it's a big adjustment at first, but totally worth it! Congrats on your success!
