Vancouver, BC buddy wanted



Recommended Posts

Hello everyone,

My name is Leann, I am 38 years old and I live in Surrey,BC. I am just starting out on this journey and would love to have someone to talk to or go through this with a buddy. I have a consult next week at Puget Sound Surgical in Bellingham and am hoping to have surgery end of April.

Is there anyone else out there from the lower mainland going through this process or have gone ahead of me,I would love to connect.

Llcourage@shaw.ca

Thanks,

Leann

Hi Leann, my nameis Sheila and I live in Calgary, and I too am just starting this journey. I have had my first 2 consults, I have had my Endoscope and I am about to have my pysch evaluation. I am hoping to get my surgery date as soon as my pysch eval is over. I don't think it will be until June at least, but at least I will know when the date it.

I would be happy to be your buddy. My husband has family in Vancouver so we make trips there often. We can exchange either email address and/or phone numbers so we talk.

My email address is sheila.pinkney@shaw.ca If you would like to email me we can get to know each other better.

Anyway, think about it, and let me know

Sheila

Hi,

I have never been to a support group, maybe we could go together sometime. We also have family here from out of town and heading for vacation tomorrow. I will touch base with you when we get back.

        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!!
