Hi my name is karina I'd like to make friends around my age who are going through this my instagram is itskariduh

Hey kari, my name is Leah. I will be 22 in 8 days ! Lol. I'm going to be having surgery on November 11th. Have you already met with a dietician yet?

Hi! Nice to meet you ! How exciting ! Yeah i have all my requirements done I'm just waiting to hear from the insurance to get my date! They denied at first because my coordinator sent in the claim before I had everything turned in ! So I was soooooooooooo upset

Hey Kari, good luck with the insurance stuff I know that part can be tricky. I am 26 and will be having my surgery on the 12th so I am a few days in to the pre-op liquid diet.

How exciting ! Y's the insurance part is the most nerve wrecking ! How is the pre op liquid diet going for you ?

It is going okay, I am 6 days in and to the point I am not feeling hungry all the time. I am lucky I did not get the horrible headache also.

That's really good to hear I know I'm dreading that part just because I know It will really be happening kinda still scared about it

Hey kari, I'm 25 I just added you on Instagram . I will have my surgery in about a month.

Hey! About to add you on Instagram as soon as this posts. I'm 21, will have my surgery on the next Tuesday! The 9th.

I feel nervous, they told me in a month but, all I'm missing is my EGD on coming Friday.

Did You buy all you Vitamins already?

I had never been put under before my EGD, so I was terrified but it was so easy and quick. I was crackin jokes with the dr after I woke up. I haven't bought any vitamins yet but my next dr appointment I'll be getting some! My nervousness went down a lot after the egd, but now that I know what it's like to be put under, the biggest thing I'm worried about is waking up after surgery in pain! I trust my dr and I'll continue to hope and pray that everything goes smoothly!

@@Shell425 how exciting! !!

@borucuagirl955 how exciting the only vitamins I bought are a multi vitamin A bit that I think doesn't do anything so I need to find a really good one and vitamin d because I had very low levels

@@Shell425 yes that was my first time being put under as well I Rember I cried lmao they let me have my brother in the pre op room while I waited. I am so nervous about the pain as well but I am scared of how I'm going to react to food like mentally I will still be hungry and what not I think I'm going to be upset alot as a newbie I love food lol

I'm 21 and it will be 2 months since my surgery on Sunday! I'm down 30 pounds and feeling great! Wishing you the best on your journey!

Well I has my surgery yesterday! I'm not gonna lie, the first day was hell and I continuously questioned whether it was worth it. But today has been the total opposite! I've walked down the halls and am using the bathroom regularly. As I watch tv I see nothing but food commercials but I think my mind knows that chomping down on a big burger just practical anymore so even though I see it, I just don't crave it. Hopefully it stays that way!!
