Hello all, I've been a member here for about a year and some change. I've been through pre-op stuff for a sleeve for about 2 years now. Tomorrow the 31st of Oct. is my big day! I'm with Dr. Terasena's office and they are great.

I am looking for a support buddy who can hold me accountable as well as just talk to. My father is very worried, my mom is supportive as is my grandmother.

However, nothing beats having someone to email or speak with online. Thanks again.

I just discovered this website today- I am scheduled for surgery on Monday and I'm local in Virginia Beach!

I could definitely use someone to talk to- if you are still looking let me know

Dr Adams did my sleeve on 11/20! We could definitely meet up- I'm finally clear to drive again, so maybe we could get together soon? I'm in Virginia Beach, but can go pretty much anywhere.

I'm usually available Monday-friday anytime before 2:30 but it you guys have to meet after that time just let me know, I'm sure I can work something out! How long was it until you were cleared to drive?

I had my follow up phone call a week after surgery and I had been off of narcotics for three days already so they gave me the OK to drive.

Hello All, My name is Lori and I just had my surgery on 11/28 by Dr. Terracina. I live in Hampton and would love to have someone to talk to who is going through the same things as I am. I find i'm having a hard time with the Protein intake along with some sharp deep pain. I understand its normal to have pain after a major surgery like this but its still frustrating all the same. If any of you, or all of you would like to talk, that would be great!

[Road2Newme3 116]

That's good, I'm dreading not being able to drive! I would love to either meet or do a group chat. If you all are interested, feel free to message me your names and phone number and I can add everyone into a group text and that way we can coordinate a meet up or at least have people to text for questions and support! It looks like most of us used the same surgeon group with bon secour! I think that will definitely help with having the same kind of requirements and dietary rules!

A week after I was off of the pain medication I slowly started back driving again. I have been pleasantly surprised that I've healed as well as I have.
