I really feel terible I missed your message.  I am still trying to navigate this site and I just found the penpal messages this morning. 

I hope the surgery went well and you are safe and sound at home.  Let me know how things are going.

Oops I reversed my numbers.  It's the 21st.  It was originally to be the 12th but I changed docs and hospitals... When is your surgery?

I am in the same boat...scoot over buddy. I am very nervous! I have to do the usual things like 6 months supervised weighloss stuff, sleep study, blood work and of course the phych eval. Which I have in 2 weeks.

So do we just write here or send messages thru our mail boxes?

Hi,
I am so sorry I missed your message.  I was consulting with my surgeon the day you had surgery...I am using Dr. Charles Finley. 

Most important.....How are you?

would love to find someone just starting out on there journey also.  I have over 200 pds to loose and the thought of having a life changing buddy is exciting.  I keep seeing messages saying people feel alone trying to make all the changes, since there friends and family didn't have the surgery, so I would like to cover that part before it ever happens

Hi everyone

I am scheduled for VSG on 7/28 and I am thrilled!  My husband will be banded about a month after I have my sleeve.  We have a wonderful 2 year old and decided that we wanted to be healthy for him and one another.  We are very excited.

I am a psychotherapist in Florida, and like several of you mentioned, am very busy, but I appreciate the value of peer support.  There is really nothing like sharing with people who are in your same boat.

I started my pre-op yesterday and was tickled tonight when the scale showed 6 lbs down. 

Looking forward to getting to know you all.

Hi Jenn, my name is Jaime. I'm 34. Not in San Diego, but not extremely far away, I am near Edwards AFB. Where are you in your journey? I think having pen pals is great. Feel free to pm me.
