Need a Buddy!

Hi! I am in need of a buddy!

Up until yesterday, I thought I was going to go through LapBand.... however, I am thinking I'd rather have the sleeve done instead.

I am in the final stages of everything that needs to be done before submitting to insurance for pre-approval. And, looking towards a December surgery.

I'd love to have someone to talk about this! I know NO ONE who has been sleeved. But, a few people who are Bandsters (including my mom!)

I'd be open to emailing, FB, IM and texting! I'm pretty open to talking to just about anyone! But, I would like at least ONE buddy who is around my age, 23!!

thanks for reading

:)

Hi Mrs, I'd love to be a buddy. I'm in Phoenix, Az. and a 27 year old stay at home Mom. I'm not sleeved yet, but I'm hoping for a Dec. date as well! As of right now I just need my psych eval and I should be set to submit for approval. Good luck to you, the sleeve is a great choice! I love Facebooking, how can I find you on there?

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
