Hello everyone! I just had roux en y gastric bypass done yesterday and, when researching support groups, found out about you all! I am looking forward to exploring the threads, learning about all of your journeys, and gaining some insight into what is to come.

A little about me: I'm 32, a mom to an almost 10 year old girl, and I have struggled with multiple chronic health issues for the better part of a decade. Medications for these problems added a bunch of my weight, and some unhealthy choices added the rest. My goals are to lose about 90-100 pounds, lower my cholesterol and triglycerides, and heal from some really bad GERD. I'm excited and ready to make it all happen!

Congratulations and welcome to the groups! How are you feeling?

Mostly good! But I still have a nerve blocker that's working on me so fingers crossed I *stay* feeling good, haha. And thank you!

WELCOME How was the surgery? I am still waiting on the pre op requirements.

Thank you! It went really well! Nausea was bad the first day but everything else has been manageable. Which procedure are you prepping for?

Gastric sleeve. My first appointment was in December and one requirement from this doctor is a Psyc eval which the next opening wasnt until March which sucks. after that i can get going with scheduling surgery hopefully.

Ah yeah, I can imagine that wait time is frustrating!! My fingers and toes are crossed that the time passes quickly and you get your surgery date soon! [emoji4]

Congrats and welcome. I am fairly certain I will have a RNY as I have a hiatal hernia that must be repaired.
You are almost 2 months out from your bypass, right? How are you feeling?
I’m hoping for 4/11 surgery date.
