Anyone looking at an August surgery date?



Recommended Posts

I will be having my surgery on 8/2 and am so excited. I have been working on this since 12/15 and have implemented so many changes in my life to help me succeed with surgery. Let's synch up

Would anyone want to do a private Facebook group for August so that we can keep in touch and support each other? I can make one if so :)

My last appointment for my supervised weight loss will be at the end of July so I'm looking at a sleeve date in August and would love to find some others that will be sleeved around that time as well. I think it would be awesome to keep track of each other via Facebook and have a mini support group!

Ok all, I've created a closed group on Facebook called "BP August 2016" so please do a search for it and you can join! A closed group means that anyone can search for it and see who's in it, but all posts are private. I've kept the group name vague and I won't write a description for those who are not comfortable openly sharing their journey with everyone on their Facebook (like me!). After we have enough members we can discuss maybe making the group entirely private, but that would mean we couldn't be found in a search and others would need to request to join in here, rather than on facebook.

So, yay! Come join! Let's keep in touch and cheer each other on!

Just got my date, surgeon had an opening July 18th so I jumped on it, that means I'm only 10 days away, so crazy! Good luck to all of you and let me know if you have any questions!

Congrats!!!! Way to go. I asked to be on the cancellation list, so if anyone from my surgeons office cancelled I could move my date up! No luck so far.

It's my understanding a lot of patients back out last minute. Maybe you'll luck out

I tried to search for this group (in the groups section) but no results :( Could you post a link to the group?

I had trouble too but I found it. Here's how I found it on the mobile version of FB....

I went on my main FB feed page.

At the very top there is a search option.

Type in:BP August 2016

At the top of this search are the options Top, Latest, People... Etc.

If you keep scrolling over you will see "Groups"

Click on Groups and it pops right up.

        Have a great Wednesday too! Sorry you're hungry all the time, I'm pretty much the same..and I'm sick of eating the same food all the time.

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!
