Concerns Pre-Op, looking for someone to ask



Recommended Posts

Hello All,

I am Kam, 37 years old male. I am going to have Beriatci surgery probably by end of October and have so many questions and concerns about post-op and side effects but not sure who I can ask these questions since my Beriatic group is not very helpful and responsive. I was wondering if I can find someone preferably a male between 30-45yrs that been through surgery so I can ask my question from a real case patient.

My current weight is 330lbs and I am 6.1.

Welcome! I think you will find many helpful people on here. There are mens only threads and sleeve conversations et. Al. Just go to furum to find different topics and ideas. Congratulations on getting a surgery date!

Hello and welcome. I believe there is a "guys only" forum if your questions are specifically male related you could try that forum. But, I have noticed that the sub category forums seem to be pretty dead.

You can try to search your questions, you would be surprised what pops up!

Otherwise, just post your questions and people will answer. Maybe men or women so if you specifically want male answers, maybe state that in your post.

Good luck, I hop you get all your questions answered!

I am sure there would be plenty of good people in here to ask. There is also a guys room thread if that makes you more comfortable.

Welcome and congratulations on your decision to have surgery. As others have mentioned there is a mens only forum if it’s really gender specific question but it usually does not get as much traffic as the general forums. You could try there but if you don’t get many responses possibly just start the topic with men only please and your age preference and then ask your questions in a more general forum if you just are wanting answers from a males perspective.

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      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!!
