I Need A Buddy In Upstate New York!!!



Recommended Posts

Hello, I'm just staring my journey. I went to my seminar april 28thand my first dr. Appointment was May 8th. I know I have a long journey ahead and would love a "buddy" to help me through. The whole idea of surgery is freaking me out, I just hope I stay strong and don't syke myself out.

That is great. If you are looking for some local support my email address is tracyfishcarp@yahoo.com. Tomorrow is my six month anniversary so I can help with some questions but have to admit that I do come into this chat site to get more in depth information. And the support here is wonderful.

I can be a long distant "buddy" if you like. I live in California. We are all in this together, and we can share experiences on the way to success.

      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!!
