Tonight was support group night and Rich accompanied me. It was pretty cool.
Other than several pre- and post-op attendees, Jennifer the Nurse and Ashton my Nutritionist were there along with a guest, Ryan, who informed us about a new FDA approved B-12 nasal mist called Nascoball.
I also met a girl named Leticia who had the sleeve done two months ago.
Leticia is already 47 lbs. down.
I asked her for her number so I could keep in touch with her between meetings. And I told her about my favorite Facebook group for bariatric support.
One of the post-op ladies, Laura, told her story. She works at Navy Fed - I recognized her husband right away. I found that we had a few similarities which was inspirational.
She said that every day she woke up she was tired. She was tired all day at work and after work she just crashed on the couch and didn't want to do anything. Now she is over 120 lbs. down (after a year) and once she decompresses for a little time after work, she's like "what can we do around the house? lets do some gardening, run errands, etc etc"....so needless to say she has a lot of energy to do things she never felt like doing.
Pretty cool. I'll head back next month and every month after.
