Looking for a "Surgery Twin" to walk through the journey with!

AmyGoBlue · Mar 9, 2022

Hello everyone! Someone in my local support group mentioned she has a surgery twin that had the same surgery date as her and they stay in touch and keep each other going since they are at the same stage. I realize we are all individuals and may experience things differently but I thought I would try a larger group and see if there is anyone out there with the same date? Looking forward to being a part of the group!

What is your surgery date?

March 21st here, I would love to have someone around the same date going through the stages together. Tips, ideas, recipes. Cheering each other on, or just having someone to vent to that can relate real time.

I’m March 23rd if that’s close enough.

Not too far; but, this forum is a great place for support and questions.

Hello, I am April 20th. Maybe the people you reached out to haven't seen your request yet. I am having gastric bypass in Falls Church, VA.
