Someone be my friend! 25/f/NY



Recommended Posts

Hey there. I looked on the forums for twenty something's and it was a ghost town! I just had my bypass 3/31 and I'm healing well. I'm looking for someone my age who would like to text updates and keep each other positive. I'd prefer someone in a similar stage of the surgery but I am open and truly just would love to make a connection with someone who is looking for something similar. Please respond or pm me. :)

Hi there, haven't had the bypass yet, I'm scheduled for 4/22... I too am looking for someone to connect with and get thru the many upcoming stages! I'm not too savy with the site yet, so add me if interested. Good luck! I'd love to know how your doing.

Hi bangbangbarbie,

I am 28/f/ny and scheduled for a VSG on May 1st. I am not quite at the same stage as you are post-op but would love to hear about your experience and possibly keep in touch along the way. Where abouts in NY are you and where did you have your surgery? How are you feeling now?

Hello friend,

If age is flexible I'll be your friend. I had my RNY April 2, and in stage 2 of recovery. While I will have a monthly support group meeting, sharing experiences with someone else will aid recovery. Meanwhile, my 2 cats are giving me daily support and will send some to you too.

Hey @@bangbangbarbie! Ya the 20-something forum is a ghost town! I'm 25, had my RnY on 03/26/15 and live in Ontario Canada. I know exactly what you're talking about, this is all a bit tricky to navigate and it is helpful having people who are going through the same thing. Feel free to drop me a line!

Hope you're doing well :)

I am a member of the May sleevers group and they have a very active private group on Facebook. Would that be a more convenient way for everyone to communicate? I would be more than happy to set something up if you all think so! There is zero way for anyone else to see that you are a member of the group :)

      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.
