Seamster44 20 Posted April 3, 2015 I'm 22 years old female and my surgery date is scheduled for April 14th. I'm 5'11/6', depends on who measures me, and I currently weight 340lbs. I would love to find someone to keep in touch with who has similar age, stats, and surgery date!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CanyonBaby 1,852 Posted April 3, 2015 If you can't find someone your age and stats, and still want a buddy, just let me know. I'm 53, and am 4 months out from surgery. We all go through pretty much the same stuff, so it's good to have someone to go through it with. Good luck on your journey! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

samantha1232 2 Posted April 17, 2015 Hi my name is Samantha I'm 5'6 258.8 lbs and had my surgery April 7. My first day after surgery I said I should have stayed fat.. I didn't have too much pain. I'm a week and two days out. BEST thing I ever did. Went to the doc today and I am down 20.8 pounds.. I'm 20% down to my goal of 100 pounds. Good luck to everyone that does this surgery. You will not regret!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jersey_girl_86 61 Posted April 17, 2015 Thanks Samantha!!! I just finished all my pre admission testing today and was so happy that I got to meet the director of nursing of the hospital where I am having my surgery. She had the sleeve 8 months ago by my doctor and was telling me about her experience. I'm excited-scared-nervous!!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Cpt. Brady 5 Posted April 18, 2015 I'm 22 years old 6 feet even starting at 370 having surgery on may 6th. If you want to keep in touch let me know Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jersey_girl_86 61 Posted April 18, 2015 (edited) I FINALLY got the call from the hospital with my time~ 6AM so I have to leave my house at 4:15AM to get to the hospital. I'm now officially freaking out. I'm so emotional I cry like over everything. I'm a Girl Scout leader and tonight at our meeting the girls were hugging me telling me that they will keep me in their prayers and I was literally fighting the tears.

samantha1232 2 Posted April 18, 2015 You will be fine. They will give u pain meds often and even if u don't think u need them take them. U don't want the pain to catch up with u.. And it's not bad pain. I walked 6 laps the night of my surgery.. Walk walk walk.. The more u walk the more the gas will move around. They talk about shoulder pain from the gas.. I didn't have any. Just keep walking Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
