Pen Pal In Texas

 Hi everyone I am 37 and a chef about to have a gastric bypass looking to make a few friends some on I can text email and just talk to about wls 

I live in Texas too!! I had my surgery in December. Maybe I can help by being a step ahead of where your going.

 cool that sounds great 

Hi there!  I live in Austin.  I'm hoping to have surgery in May.  We can chat about WLS too!

I am from Austin however we are stationed in GA. I have a friend having hers in May in SA. Good luck and keep me posted. I had my surgery last Tuesday so I am tell you my expirence with it.

Exciting!!  How did surgery go for you?? I'm definitely interested, so tell me all you can.

Diana,

My surgery went really well. I was in the hospital for 3 days then I came home and did my liquid diet (jell-o, broth and popscycles****il Sunday. Today I had my drains taken out and I am so happy cuz I got to real food (even it was only eggs and cheese :-).  The drains for me were the most painful and henderous thing about my surgery. You have to get into bed as you would in the hospital and sleep on your back with feet elevated so that you don't get blood clots in your legs. Your doctor will give and Rx for pain meds, headache and quizziness (at least mine did) and I took full advantage of the pain meds, but unfortuantly I caught a cold in the hospital so I have to take cold meds now, but thats ok. I will tell you that when you have your drains removed it is going to be a WEIRD feeling when they take them out thats for sure. When are you having your surgery? Or did you have it already?

If you gals want to talk to someone who's already had surgery I would love to find more people in TX to chit chat and talk WLS with. Find that it will hold me more accountable... :)

Hi Ladies! I had RNY surgery 3 yrs ago. I'd love to have some pen pals!

Hi there.  How is your journey with WLS going?  Have you had any weight regain?  Any tips or tricks you can provide would be helpful!
