10/26 Surgery! Anyone interested in a surgery buddy/support group?

Hi there! I'm having my bypass surgery on 10/26 and would like to connect with people that are having bypass surgery on or around the same date so that we can follow each other's journey's. Good luck to everyone!

Awesome! @gtotheb how have you been doing? Down 33lbs is awesome!

I’m in! My bypass surgery date is 11/5. Getting nervous, but excited too. My journey started 12 years ago with the lap band. After having some issues I had to have that removed in January. I loved my band, but I am hoping this is going to be even better. I am 5’2” and 225.

@PollyAnna3483 Your surgery day is my birthday so it's bound to turn out great lololol! Good luck!

Two days until surgery and the nerves are kicking in. I keep finding myself thinking about the things I can never have again (goodbye wine), but I quickly remind myself of everything I will be gaining...most importantly an improved quality of life. How are your nerves these days?

I am three days out from surgery. Now at 222.8 so I lost more than the 11 pounds they wanted me to before surgery. I am ready but nervous!

[BypaSSSed 10]

You'll do great! The nerves are normal. I'm on day 3 post op and feel pretty good aside from gas pains.

I am scheduled for 11/8. Would love to connect with others. I’m at the giving up coffee, sugar, solids stage so I’m a super ray of sunshine. You’ve been warned.

Had my first day of eating today. No more clear fluids! I got the sleeve done. Have lost my bloating and am starting to drop. Just nervous I can eat enough lol.
