Looking for buddy and/or mentor - sleeved 12/7/2016 :D



Recommended Posts

I'm being sleeved on Dec. 7th (just a few days away!). I would love to have a buddy that is being sleeved around that time or has been sleeved recently that can help make the transition easier by having someone to chat with. I'm also open to having a mentor who has gone through it and can help me with some of the problems or questions I may have.

I live in Minneapolis, Minn., right now. I work from home as well, which gets a bit lonely and I know going through this transition without having the distraction of work and co-workers sounds difficult :(

Thanks everyone! :D

Hey! I was sleeved on 11/28! I was kind of looking for a buddy too! How are you doing?

I also work from home too! I get the lonely! I am 30 years old, female and live in Tampa, Florida! Let's be friends!

I'm getting pretty freaked out as the days get closer to the surgery... only two more to go :blink:

How has your recovery been and the first week of post-op?

I meant to say pre-op diet sorry ladies! My diet allows me to have 2 shakes and 1 small meal so I picked up some Weight Watchers Meals and I think I goofed I just had one with Pasta and it has 38 grams of carbs. I won't be doing that again! I am ok so far day one started with a bang and my cycle to top it off. I had my shake this morning and so glad I can have Decaf coffee trying to load up on my Water intake to be nice and hydrated. It's so nice that you work from home I get to every now and then so I made sure to stock up with things here at work. I have a question did you practice on eating and drinking to prepare for the surgery? I try to chew things and count to 30 but it is hard!! And as for sipping and not gulping that is even harder for me I down a 16oz bottle of Water in 2 drinks (if I really want to). I have a couple of weeks to get ready so I will continue to chew chew chew and sip sip sip!! This day is half way over! Have a wonderful day ladies!

I can't be much of a mentor (sleeved 10/26/2016), but almost through the reintroduction diet phase. I'd be pleased to answer any questions based on my recently having gone through it.

        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!!

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!
