Looking for a mentor NC

I am a few months away from my surgery, and I would love to have someone that I can run to with all my worries. I am 26 and would just love to have a friend who understands how hard this really is

I am also looking to have surgery in a few months. I live in Winston Salem and am 28 so we can definitely support each other as we go through this at the same time!

Yay! I don't know how to start a chat on here but i am so excited to just have someone to lean on. Look forward to hearing from you soon:)

Where are you both in your process? I just finished my three week food diary. On may 1st I go to my next nutrition appointment and exercise evaluation. After that we can submit to insurance and get a date. Technically I could probably get a may date, but since I'm a teacher I will need to wait until school is out in June. I'm anxious to have the surgery over with and begin this process.

I have completed 5 months of my 6 months worth of medically monitored diet (my insurance is a beast), and my psych evaluation, and my nutritionist meetings. In two weeks I go for my endoscopy and the following week I do my final diet meeting. Then hopefully I will approved and get my date. I am shooting for the end of June beginning of July. I guess you guys can tell me all about it! I am so excited for you both!
