I work in Avondale but live in Black Canyon City. Scheduled for surgery 4-22-09 and would like to have a support network set up. I have a wonderful woman at the office who is banded and would like to know if anyone else wants to get together once or twice a month - if not more - to talk, complain, cry, whatever.

I didn't see any other posts for an Avondale group so figured I would post one.

Good luck with your surgery. I live in Gila Bend but go to Avondale all the time. I own a home and 2 of my kids live there. I would love to get together with other west valley poeple. I dont get much support at home and could use all the encouragement I can get! My hubby is tall and skinny and I'm short and plump! soon to be skinny:tongue_smilie:. I work till 1:30 and it takes about an hour to get to avondale. I have fridays off and could do Breakfast or lunch that day.

Feel free to contact me. Debi

Hey there Debi,

Sorry I didn't get back to you sooner. I work in Avondale on Monday, Wednesday and Friday. Just let me know when you are interested in getting together and I'll see what I can do. I don't think I'm ready to do lunch yet just because it would be miserable not to be able to have anything but we could get a smoothie.:smile2:

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      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!!
