Surgery on 1/12/15 and looking for a buddies and a mentors!



Recommended Posts

Here's a little information about me!

(I meant a mentor, typo. Sorry)

My name is Nadia.I'm 18, I live in Pennsylvania and my surgeon is Dr Teasun Moon of Wimber,Pa. I've been overweight from early childhood to now. My starting weight was 282 and I'm now down to 265.5. I start my liquid diet on December 29! If your on a similar time frame, I'd love to talk to you and share our experiences. Some of my other interests are fashion, astrology, make up and Classic rock. I also love to read, cook and do yoga.

My only requirement for my bypass buddy is that they be committed to getting healthy. I'm doing this to live longer and be healthier but I'm also doing it in honor of my mother, she passed away in 2011 due to a heart attack related to morbid obesity. I'd also prefer someone that would like to communicate via other mediums (Facebook,Skype,text) as well as this one!

Hi Princess, My surgery is January 5th, 2015. I've been waiting to have this surgery for a very long time. I too would like to have a special buddy going thru this. I'm old enough to be your mother but I'm very young at heart. Once I get past the surgery, watch out world! I'm on Facebook, My Fitness Pal, Fitbit and have no problem texting. I'm sorry I didn't see your post sooner or I would have gladly replied. I'm extremely motivated and committed to getting back to a healthier lifestyle. Let me know if you are interested! Check out my blog, too.

Hi Princess and Sassy, I had gastric on Jan.5 this year. I need all the help I can get. I would like for you to add me as a friend and buddy. Together we can do this! I also am on Facebook and MyFitnessPal. I need advice on how many calories a day I should consume, how much food at one time. I am exercising, walking. Would really like to have you as mentors and buddies

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.
