Need a buddy/mentor in Jacksonville , fl



Recommended Posts

Hello everyone :

I'm 54 years old and I am about to have my gastric bypass surgery in June 2016. I am looking for someone who has been through this surgery or is about to go through the surgery to be my buddy, friend, and mentor that lives in Jacksonville, fl or just an online friend that I can talk too. I would like to know if anyone have or had a lot of health issues before their surgery? If so have they changed since the surgery and how long did it take to change. Looking forward to finding a friend

Hey @@Madea61 I responded to your private message already but I wanted to also let you know that there is a great Facebook support group for folks having sleeve surgery during the months of May and June....even though you're having bypass I think this group would be great for you if you use Facebook.....bypass and sleeve are two different surgeries but the pre-op and post-op are very similar from what I understand so you should fit right in.

If you'd like me to add you to the group send me your email address and I can get you added. It's a completely secret group and no one can see anything that is posted there that is not a member of the group.

If you need another online buddy outside of FB send me a private message. I'm 55 and having RNY on June 22. I don't have a lot of health issues yet but am on the edge of developing them. Best of luck to you with your surgery!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
