Baltimore, anyone?



Recommended Posts

Hi there! I will be having sleeve surgery in the fall. I've been very lucky to connect with some wonderful mentors, but I would also love to have some buddies who are in a similar stage of the of the process. I'm in Baltimore, and it would be great to have a local buddy, but you don't have to be.

Thanks! :)

I am in southern Maryland. I'm waiting on insurance approval. It seems to be taking forever.




Hi all I'm in MD right outside of DC. I'm scheduled for a gastric bypass 7/11. I'm about to start my liquid diet. It's getting real now. I can't wait to have a new beginning and healthy me.

I'm in the Baltimore area with a July 11th surgery date. It's been a long process to this point and can't believe it's about to happen. Starting the liquid diet next week...eek!!!

Oh my goodness! It's coming up so soon! Are you having surgery at Hopkins?

I hear you! I am about halfway through the 7 months of weight management that my insurance requires. Today I had an upper endoscopy. I should have everything checked off the list by early September, and then hopefully I will be approved.

I'm also going to be at Bayview. Who was your husband's surgeon (if you don't mind me asking)?

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
