Looking for buddies Late March/Early April surgery



Recommended Posts

Hello, I'm new here and just looking to make some friends who are on a similar timeline. My surgery is scheduled for 3/28/17. I'm starting to get nervous

About me: I live in the greater Cincinnati area on a 200 acre farm with my husband and our 5 dogs, 7 cats, 2 horses, and many cows and chickens. I am 34 years old and suffer from generalized anxiety and depression, and some social anxiety. I am an introverted person, so making friends online is easier. I love riding my horses, being outside, music, watching sports, and reading. After surgery I hope to get back into running, weight lifting, and hiking. I am an open-minded and sensitive person.

My biggest fear currently is that I will have the surgery and still manage to fail by regaining weight or not losing. I've struggled with my weight on and off since my teens.

Looking forward to sharing the journey!

My pre op is tomorrow. And surgery is set for 4/6. Originally it was 3/30 but the dr is away that week. I'm nervous/ excited / scared all at the same time

My surgery is 3/26 and I am already on my pre-op diet. It will get easier as time goes and I am sure that you will succeed. Positive thoughts brings postive results. Know and believe you can and you will.

Hi. My surgery is planned on 29th of March, and I have to be admitted on 27th. I am anxious about it. I have not disclosed it to anyone despite my husband as it would open further discussions in family and work. I am hoping everything would go smooth.

I have surgery 3/30. I have only told my hubby & my bestie who is also a medical doctor. I don't want to hear anything anyone else has to say. Especially when I had a previous WLS (LapBand that was defective & had to be removed)... I have enough going on not to have to deal with the negativity of others. I am hoping to find support here though.

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      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!!
