I'm new to this journey and I'm looking for people in my area who may be interested in keeping each other motivated and support each other thru our journey. I'm 28, single mom of 1 and I need all the support i can get. Thanks

Hi everyone, I'm in the Asheville area. 28 f not sure if I mentioned that already. I'm probably looking at November or December to have my surgery because my insurance requires several appointments prior, have to have a sleep study and several other tests before hand. I'm so glad u all reached out, it's so encouraging to know we are all on this journey and have this wonderful support system!

I am 48 years old and in Chapel Hill, have done psych eval and have surgeon appt and other tests on July 14. No insurance waiting period for me, hoping for an August date.

Which centers are you all using, and who is your surgeon?

I am going through Duke, with Dr. Yoo.

I live in rocky mount!!! I'm going thru Nash and Dr Mann will be my Dr.. I'm still early in the process... Next week is my psychological appt then the 20TH is my second nurtrional appt then august 11 is my cardiac appt.. Then I'll finally get an appt with the surgeon.. At that point we will see what he says and submit.. Right now I'm a few pounds under 40 bmi.. And I don't have any comorbities that bcbs wants to recognize.. I am on Bp meds but not the highest dose.. I do have chronic pain and last year had to get my knees replaced at 44 yrs old due to horrible osteoarthritis.. So we will see what happens.. I'm believing that I've had this on my heart so long and finally pursued it.. I'm praying I make it to the end

      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!!
