Finding friends

So I've reached out a few times to fellow RNYers who I felt might be aligned to my time period of surgery and expressed similar concerns. I thought it'd be nice to interact with a few specific people as well as the community at large.

So far I've sent out maybe 5 - 6 friend requests with no responses. Am I doing this right or is there a more effective approach? How many of you have friends? Maybe it just isn't a very common occurrence. Surely it has nothing to my engaging and enlightened and enjoyable personality.

Friend requests come to a person's OH messages. Sometimes the recipient doesn't notice they have messages, or their attached email address doesn't receive notifications. Don't take it personally. (laughs) Friend me. I'll say "yes."

Thanks for the input, Bette B. And I will!

Not having a picture can make people a little stand offish.

Thanks. Working on that. Trying to get a pic to the size required without luck but I'll get there.

You can also post on the RNY message board so other RNYers will see it.  I'll friend you as I'm a fellow RNYer too.

Thanks Cathy...friend request coming your way...

I'll be having my rny surgery August 11 (it was pushed back a week :() when is yours scheduled?  I'd be happy to be your friend! 

Hey there, Kirsten

Glad to hear from you. Looks like you're losing lbs before surgery which is probably a great idea. I did some of that before my own date and I'm glad that I did. Maybe having your surgery pushed back gives to a chance to lose some more.

So yeah, my surgery was a 9 days ago. Each day is a little more pain free and I'm feeling positive and full of hope. I think we'll probably have some valuable experiences to pass on to one another. 

Very glad you responded!

Yeah, the weight is coming and going :) after getting my date I went and had my self a 3 week food funeral and gained a little. I know the preop liquid diet will help me lose some weight too. 

Your surgery was 9 days ago?! How are you feeling? I hope you're healing well.
