Hello! I'm a pre-op female in her late 20s. I'm 5'9" and almost 300 lb. Married, no kids. I'm doing the self-pay route (in USA) because my insurance won't cover, regardless of medical necessity.

I'm looking at the late March/early April 2012 timeframe for surgery but haven't set a date yet.

I'd really like to find a female pre-op WLS Buddy to be able to text or email with for support. Even better if your surgery is in the US since we'll have similar pre-surgery appointments & follow-ups.

Thanks!

you could email me iam pre op also goin in around the time u are it would be great

same here, going in march 5..not ready for thoses two weeks but my mind is set on success!!!

iam waiting for my date now

I am also going in for my surgery on March 15 and I would love to have a pre-op buddy to correspond with through

this journey. I live in Texas. There is always "great strength" in numbers !

I am having my surgery on March 12th and would love to have someone to talk to through this journey.

I had my surgery 12/5/11. Message me if you like and I can send you a text. I'd be happy to do so.

You have had alot of offers but if you need another let me know. I was sleeved 1/4.

I'm definitely interested too! I am also self pay in the U.S. (Florida) and will be sleeved 3/20. I am 5'10" and my starting weight was 287 (am at about 277 now). We have similar stats and will be very close for our timeline - would love to keep in touch for support and info! PM if you would like!

Hi Mary-

My surgery was in March and I am a 30 year old female. I am also from California. My starting weight was 233.

Hi! I'm from the Bakersfield area. I'm 510 and stared at 289.5 I'm now 261. I've started getting a lot of heartburn recently. Have you had any problems. The surgeon said to take pepcid chewables. I never had this problem before surgery. I stumbled to this forum and decided to sign up maybe find a weight loss buddy

I am from the San Jose area. I started out at 233 and i am now 164. My doctor had me on Prilosec for 2 months after surgery to help with the heartburn. I never had a problem before surgery but if I forgot to take my Prilosec in the morning I was hurting. Now that I'm almost 4 months out I don't have heartburn anymore.
