I Am Looking For A Surgery Buddy And Support - Surgery 4/28

[CynthiaK 6]

Hi there,

I am looking for a surgery buddy and people who are also going through this to go through it with me. I currently have my surgery scheduled with Dr. Almanza on April 28 (Eeeee!!!! So excited!!!). I am wanting some positive people to do this with that will understand what I'm going through and be there to text, email or call when we need it.

I am a very positive person, 39, BMI is 39. I live in Dallas, I'm a CPA, no husband or children (yet... I hope!!). Please let me know if you are interested in going through this adventure with me!

Take care,

Cynthia

Hey there,

Girl I will be your surgery buddy. I am 43, and my BMI is 40.5. I am only 5'0 ft tall. I live in Nashville and I am so excited about this surgery. I had a lot of reservations at first but, I want my life back. A little about me. I am married and have three boys. Aged 10, 12, and 42 (hahah, my husband). I was in shape most of my life, but then my back went out. I used to be a gymnist and I had spondiolethesis, and had to have major back surgery a year ago. Since then I have gained so much weight. I am 5'0 and I weigh 209. With this surgery, my hopes is to lose 80lbs. I would love to be your surgery buddy and support you and I would love the support in turn. Thanks for your post, I just started my process and I will most likely have the surgery in May. So, we are still very close. I am going the insurance route. I work for Federal Govt. and have Fed BCBS. So, I have to do a 3 month medically supervised diet. Hey, I gottal go but, lets talk some more. Tell me more about yourself ....I am still trying to figure out how to get a picture up on ths site. Have a great evening. I will check back in in the morning. Taking the boys out to dinner. Bye for now. I am excited to get to know you better. Thanks Heather

Me too! I'm scheduled for my sleeve this Thursday, the 28th I am a wee bit worried though because my allergies are hitting hard.

I'm 46, BMI has been 40, though I've lost some weight with this pre-op diet! I'm 5'6", HW: 251, CW: 234.6 and GW: 150. I have PCOS, so I am assuming I will be a slow loser in general. I have 1 son, he's 20 now and in the military. Insurance is paying for this, after all my deductibles are met, which is still expensive.

I am super new to BariatricPal, hopefully I can figure out how to get my stats updated!

Hello, I am still a little bit out from getting my surgery as I still have to have the sleep study consult and throat scope. I'd like to be your buddy as I dint really have anyone to talk to about this process. Have a great night!
