South Jersey Pre-op or post-pop sleevers (20-30 yr old women)



Recommended Posts

Hello all! I am 26 going on 27 in a few weeks and I'm in nearing the ending of my preliminary appointments before going on the post-op diet right before surgery. I'm currently a full-time doctoral student, active member of my church serving in multiple ministries, and married to my wonderful husband who is making a life change as well.

I wanted to know who here is from SNJ and hopefully we can connect to be a support system. I have membership at PF and will be attending regularly since I have been cleared to do so.

This is such a heavy decision and a life change that is better supported by people who can show empathy. Let's connect!!

Blessings!

Congrats!!! I pray that all goes well for you! How has your journey been so far? I just finished my pulmonary dr appt yesterday and I was cleared. I'm just waiting for my sleep study and my last nutrition appt. I'm am STRUGGLING at the moment with my eating. I'm losing weight, but I've noticed I've have been a bit carb heavy the past few days. I had a full Breakfast this morning so I'll be watching it now.

I believe it!!! Definitely a journey with a great reward. Ironically, I was just hospitalized and my nurse tech had his sleeve done 11 months ago and he lost almost 190lbs!! He looks great and he says he feels much lighter although he's been slipping up a little.

      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!!
