Surgery buddies? Lower bmi, early thirties



Recommended Posts

Hi friends! I'm getting super excited to get sleeved in September! I just wanted to reach out and see if anyone wanted to be sleeve buddies? I don't know ANYONE who has had the surgery in my personal life- I plan on attending some local support groups here in Virginia, but would love a buddy from on here to chat with about your process.

anyone like me? 230 lbs, 5'6", 30 year old, teacher turned stay at home mom. Getting sleeved September 18!

Good luck everyone on your journey!

I've heard that the first couple weeks are the worst, but after that, life is good! :) Let me know how it's going! I love hearing other people's stories. It gets me so excited to start my own!

Teachers turn stay at home moms are the BEST! :) so excited for you! I never want to wish time away, but I am impatiently waiting to be two months out! I know it's a big adjustment at first, but totally worth it! Congrats on your success!

      It's been a bit of a struggle this last week...I'm hungry ALL the time.

        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!!
