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

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?

Topic: Looking for buddy in Missouri area
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.
