Looking for a mentor NC



Recommended Posts

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!

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 everything and received approval from my insurance. I am just waiting on May 20th to have my surgery and it cannot get here fast enough.

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!

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
