JUST GOT MY SURGERY DATE 1/30/18 looking for surgery buddies

[Cowgirl12 29]

Finally!!!! I’m excited and nervous... not new to surgeries as I’m in late 50’s but now my new chapter! Been working towards this day since last July, paid the first 4 months out of pocket as I had an insurance at that time that I would no way have the surgery with (Kaiser) and feel extremely confident in the dr I do have.. his bariatric team is awesome! They now feel like family at this point. Hard part is I don’t have any family near me (I live in Hawai‘i) so a bit sad in that.... but the team is awesome and I know I can contact them anytime. It would be great to have a surgery buddy here.... I’m having the bypass... 😊 🎉🎉

I'm getting bypass a day after you, except I am having it done with Kaiser in Northern California!

[Cowgirl12 29]

Congratulations!!! I guess in all fairness I should explain why I didn’t want to go through with kaiser here in Hawai‘i.... they had lost their license and just recently got it back... this is scary enough with out that worry on my mind.. I know you will do great! We will have to keep in touch!

[nikkisayswhat 7]

Definitely!

I completely agree with you. Been forever it seems to get to this point but got the call Friday for the 30th... now making my list of things to get done before the surgery (ya, I’m a note person lol). I’m excited, a little nervous, wishing it was already 6 months behind me... lol .

how are you feeling?

Would love to be buddies. My surgery was originally 12/18 and then I got pretty sick with a kidney infection. So I am better now an rescheduled for 2/9.

Hi Krista,

that would be awesome! I’m pretty new on the site, still trying to figure it out. I “tweaked” my back last Saturday and been on ice and pain med to get it better so they won’t have to reschedule my surgery. Where are you and which surgery are you having?

Thank you, yes getting better but felt so much better Friday I over did it at work lol. I had a physical therapist injure my back last March. I was hoping to start doing some exercises to strengthen it but now just hoping it gets better before next week. I don’t do the relaxers well.. I also have 7 herniated disks in my lower back (lifting too heavy of things over the years) but the feel fine.

Where are you located?

Mine is today, it’s crazy how fast it sneaks up on you...
