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!

I don have a date yet:( I am playing the awful waiting game. I just keep waiting an waiting for the insurance company to call. If I could just have the date I feel like a could take a breath. Very frustrated.

How are you??? Three weeks away to a whole new life. I couldn't be more excited for you. Hats your diet like?

Try calling insurance. The more you bug them the faster they seem to get things done so you won't bother them anymore.

My diet I guess isn't the worse one out there. I can have 1 serving of oatmeal, 1 small yogurt, I small piece of fruit, 3oz of chicken breast or fish with no sauce or seasoning, and 1 cup of veggies. It is less than 600 calories a day. It isn't so bad in the mornings, but after work I seem to be the hungriest and the small dinner isn't cutting it.

I hope you get your date soon! It does make it real from that point on (so does the pre-op diet)!

I am so happy for you! And remember that this is the worst part. After the surgery the hunger won't be as bad and you get to cross over to the losers bench. Just keep your eyes on the prize girl and you will do great!

Yeah I have to keep telling myself that! Hopefully the time will go by quickly. And hopefully time will fly for you too. Do you know what kind of pre-op diet you will have to do?

I was just about to tell you guys! I got the call today...or rather I pestered the hell out if my insurance company...and I found out that I was approved! And then I called the doctor and got my date! August 2!!!! It seems so far away

Yay congrats!! I saw your status on fb that's why I thought I would ask. It will go quickly. I was just thinking today how fast it has gone from May 15 when I found out my date to now being almost 2 weeks away! I'm so excited for you; it is a relief to have the actual date.

That's the truth! I have just been praying that I would have an answer. I have cried and completely lost sleep. I just hope this time flys by. I cannot believe you are two weeks away!! How are you feeling??

I'm pretty content about it. I had my last nutrition case today and there was a lot of info about post op diet and vitamins. I'm more stressed about getting my apartment ready for my stepmom to come stay with me after surgery than the actual surgery. I think because I am so ready for it...I have no second thoughts!
