sleeve buddy

My date was Dec 6th but then they called and pushed it up to Nov 30th about 2 weeks ago. I would like a sleeve buddy too cause I definately know I will need someone to talk to. I have lost a big amount of weight on my own so now l am just waiting for Thursday to get here! Best wishes to yall.

Yes! 2 days after I get back from finals. But that will give me a full month recovery! I’ve only told my roommates because they’re crazy observant, parents, my best friend & boyfriend! Other than that I’m keeping it to myself.

What made you keep your surgery a secret?

I just didn’t want to have people try to talk me out of it. A year ago I was scheduled for surgery and I let my coworker talk me out of it. I always get the “you’re not that big” “you can loose the weight on your own” .

I am taking full 6 week leave-figured I would take advantage of the time and really focus on myself (not something I have opportunity to do with my job regularly). I just told work that I have a medical concern I need to deal with. So far no one has pushed and our leave approvals are handled by 3rd party. Mom and sister work in the OR at hospital where I am having it so could not avoid telling them.

Hardest part is dodging questions from extended family at thanksgiving and Christmas on what I am eating (or not eating).

I wish I could take six weeks off. My company is short staffed so I’m trying to be nice and just take two weeks off

I had my sleeve since November 20, I’ve only let my Facebook friends, family and closest colleagues know because we all hangout and they want to include me in. I have formed a support group through these friends to assist
