Sleeve on July 25th ISO chat buddy



Recommended Posts

Hi everyone. I'm doing this journey alone. I've only told 3 people close to me about surgery. And none of them will be available to come to the hospital with me. I'm afraid I'm going to incredibly lonely and emotional post-op. Is anyone interested in chatting over the kik app (long term)? Looking for someone to offer mutual support on our journeys and share photos of our progress.

@momof2littleones

hi there

you are all set to start your journey!!

popscicles, Protein Shake, measuring cups,

two more special things you need -

PATIENCE and DETERMINATION !!!:rolleyes:

ready for a great ride -few bumps ahead,

mostly smooth sailing,

sorry you will be on your own going to the hospital.

hopefully one or more of your friends can

be more available to help you PO - you can lean on

them for support- find a support group PO

(your doc's office should be able to help you)

finding a group, you will meet OP that are at your

stage as a NEWBIE - you can grow up together. meeting people

that are further out with WLS is also good (hear their experiences,

get info)

good luck bud

speedy recovery

kathy

        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!!
