Need a buddy/mentor in Jacksonville , fl



Recommended Posts

Hello everyone :

I'm 54 years old and I am about to have my gastric bypass surgery in June 2016. I am looking for someone who has been through this surgery or is about to go through the surgery to be my buddy, friend, and mentor that lives in Jacksonville, fl or just an online friend that I can talk too. I would like to know if anyone have or had a lot of health issues before their surgery? If so have they changed since the surgery and how long did it take to change. Looking forward to finding a friend

Hey @@Madea61 I responded to your private message already but I wanted to also let you know that there is a great Facebook support group for folks having sleeve surgery during the months of May and June....even though you're having bypass I think this group would be great for you if you use Facebook.....bypass and sleeve are two different surgeries but the pre-op and post-op are very similar from what I understand so you should fit right in.

If you'd like me to add you to the group send me your email address and I can get you added. It's a completely secret group and no one can see anything that is posted there that is not a member of the group.

If you need another online buddy outside of FB send me a private message. I'm 55 and having RNY on June 22. I don't have a lot of health issues yet but am on the edge of developing them. Best of luck to you with your surgery!

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

        Have a great Wednesday too! Sorry you're hungry all the time, I'm pretty much the same..and I'm sick of eating the same food all the time.

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
