Hi there,

I am looking for a surgery buddy and people who are also going through this to go through it with me. I currently have my surgery scheduled with Dr. Almanza on April 28 (Eeeee!!!! So excited!!!). I am wanting some positive people to do this with that will understand what I'm going through and be there to text, email or call when we need it.

I am a very positive person, 39, BMI is 39. I live in Dallas, I'm a CPA, no husband or children (yet... I hope!!). Please let me know if you are interested in going through this adventure with me!

Take care,

Cynthia

Hi Cynthia, I'm scheduled for March 2nd with Dr. Almanza! I livere here in Austin, and would love to buddy up with you for support! Too bad we don't have the same date....we could fly out together :-)

Hi Shannon!

Oh, I am so thankful for this forum already! Yes, let's keep in touch and go through this together. Mexico is one thing, the surgery and recovery is another, and the after that will be another animal all on its own. We will need support of people who know what we are going through.

I'll try to figure out how to send you a private message with my email address (I'm new here).

Cynthia

Hello!

I am also having surgery with Dr Almanza in TJ. I am scheduled for a VSG on 03/09/12. Need another buddy?

Hi daisyleigh! Absolutely I need another buddy! How are you doing? Are you ready? What are you doing to prepare?

I will be going to Dr Almanza on 4/12/12 and live in the Metroplex also. Would love to stay in touch.

YAY! I look forward to getting to know you Michelle. So, tell me, what are you doing to prepare for your surgery. Are you excited?!!!

Good Morning Cynthia yes i am super excited and april 12th can't get here fast enough. I've started doing high protein and low carb to get my body ready for the healing part of surgery. I will do this til it's time to start the 5day liquid diet for pre-op. i'm also trying to increase my activity. All i got to say is Let's do this

I am excited and eager to get to TJ. I am 4 weeks away from the surgery so I'm starting to prep by cutting out the easiest stuff for me (carbonated drinks and caffeine). I am getting into the habit of seperating liquids from my meals so I am used to it when the time is right. I am also gradually saying goodbye to some fast food favorites. I plan to spend the next couple weeks decreasing carbs and increasing proteins. I am also going to sample some protein drinks now so I can have a better idea of what to have on hand later.
