strawberryblue 10 Posted February 18, 2012 Hello! I'm a pre-op female in her late 20s. I'm 5'9" and almost 300 lb. Married, no kids. I'm doing the self-pay route (in USA) because my insurance won't cover, regardless of medical necessity. I'm looking at the late March/early April 2012 timeframe for surgery but haven't set a date yet. I'd really like to find a female pre-op WLS Buddy to be able to text or email with for support. Even better if your surgery is in the US since we'll have similar pre-surgery appointments & follow-ups. Thanks! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

MaryR 3 Posted July 7, 2012 Hi! I'm from the Bakersfield area. I'm 510 and stared at 289.5 I'm now 261. I've started getting a lot of heartburn recently. Have you had any problems. The surgeon said to take pepcid chewables. I never had this problem before surgery. I stumbled to this forum and decided to sign up maybe find a weight loss buddy Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
