I am in pre op having surgery in 9 days and I'm terrified/excited and would really love someone to talk to and help me with this journey! Any one in the DFW area?

I'm just outside of Fort Worth, had surgery 7/6 and am new to the group. Would love to have someone to talk to as well if you are able.

I am absolutely available! Would love to have someone to talk to as well! I am right next to lewisville and grapevine. Just moved to Texas a year ago so I don't know much about location. How are you feeling so far?

Hey there!! I'm doing ok, it's definitely a struggle to get all the Protein and hydration I need and I've been super weary of trying to introduce soft solids for fear of dumping syndrome. I'm about 45 minutes SW of FW but I used to live in Grapevine a few years ago so I've got a good idea of where you're at. How are you doing?

Hello! I’m doing ok, it’s up and down but I’m feeling better as I lose pounds. It never seems fast enough but I keep that in perspective! How are you doing?

For sure! I completely get, it always feels like the weight is coming off so slowly. I’m doing really well, feeling a lot better and I’m going on 9 months post op. I’ve lost a little over 100 pounds and have been really working out a lot and trying to stay active while eating right.

hi!! i am doing really well. My biggest struggle is getting enough Protein and Water everyday. I'm also having a really hard time remembering to take my Vitamins everyday. Do you guys ever stand up too quickly and black out? That's been happening to me lately! I am 10 days shy of 4 months out from surgery and have lost a total of 105 lbs. (I lost 40 lbs in preparation for surgery). I am hoping to lose 30-40 more lbs. I am hoping I can do it but a little in disbelief that it could be possible. Then again if you had asked me 4 months ago if I thought I would be down 100 lbs I would of said heck no!

        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!!
