I use Instagram a lot more than this app. So I figured why not see if others like it more as well.

I’d love to follow more people on insta! We can support each other’s journeys!

HI, I’m really new here still, but if you’re interested in following me I’m mil_unloaded over on IG. I’m 6 months from my surgery (approx!), so it would be nice to have people on IG that have been through it and can be supportive!

I should clarify (it won’t let me edit), I haven’t had my surgery yet. I should be having it in about 6 months (insurance hurdles)! But I’m happy to follow anyone that shares here because I’d love to see more about your process and progress!

I haven’t had surgery yet either! I started the insurance process in March and finally have my surgery date for July 28th!

That's perfectly fine! I did the same thing before my surgery- seeing other people going through it made me much braver about it in the end and the support from the instagram and bariatricpal community has been astounding!

Congrats to both of you! ❤️ You got this.

      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!!
