Hi everyone,

I am going to have gastric bypass Surgery between 08/2021-01/2022. I am excited to be here, I am excited to do everything required of me pre & post op.

is there anyone in this forum that currently resides in NYC?

Hi. Kyle here. I'm 4 to 6 weeks out from my roux en y surgery. I'm excited. Scared. Apprehensive. Determined and driven...lol

I'm in illinois but am willing and wanting to offer you my ear. Advice and mainly my time to listen.

Yolev112: Wow, how EXCITING!!!!!! Time flies, YOU GOT THIS!!!

Keep us posted with your journey.

Im getting the sleeve in Brooklyn in August!

I’m hoping to be approved and have surgery this year — live in the Bronx and surgery in NYC.

Omg August is almost here, congratulations Ricksters!!!!

Teri: I’m hoping to get surgery the end of this year as well.
Hi neighbor, I’m in the Bronx as well. When is your meeting with your surgeon?

^^check your message. I messaged you both.

Buffalo...hopefully i will be getting surgery soon..im so scared

Shawn: Try your best to not feel scared.

sneding you tons of positive vibes!?

Hi!

I'm glad to have found this thread. I am in the planning stage and definitely need some advice if any is available. I'm in the BX. Anyone have any tips on what to ask my doctor or if I should just go straight to the surgeon?

I went to my primary first and she has a list of surgeons that she worked with before or other patients used before. That is where I got my recommendations of surgeons. However, if you know some surgeons already you could go straight to them since every hospital/program/insurance is a bit different

Bxnaija: I messaged you. Go to your PCP AND set up consultations with surgeons ASAP

Update: I will no longer get the gastric bypass surgery. I am going to get the duodenal switch surgery. YouTube it if you haven’t heard of it. It’s a great tool to have especially someone with over 100lbs to lose like myself. ??

Hi. My surgery is scheduled for 12/22/21. I’m still going through the pre op clearances. I’m in Florida. But we can be friends any way
