Topic: RE: Penpal wanted to complain and clelebrate triumphs with
Hi, I need someone that has already had the surgery and share notes on the progress. I am almost 5 weeks post op and I am still having trouble eating. I am still on liquid and puree foods otherwise my stomach hurts if I try to eat something. Have you experience this and if so, how long before we can "chew" our meals? Thanks

Topic: PreOp RNY, Hope for Surgery in 2010, pen pal wanted
Highest weight: 331 (4/13/10), Entered Bariatric Program: 320 (9/7/10), Pre-Surgery Goal: 310, Day of Surgery: 307 (2/15/11), Current Weight: 171 (5/12/12). 5'5". I am overweight now!
Hi,
I am 33 years old.
I live in California.
I am hopefully having surgery at Kaiser Hospital, Richmond, CA with Dr. Aaron Baggs as my suregon before the end of 2010.
I have been on this journey for a long time. I have seen at least 9 doctors and N.P.s to get to this point.
I am on Kaiser's Pre-Op diet and I am 1 week into losing weight before surgery. I will meet with my surgeon on 10/1 to find out exactly how much weight I need to lose before surgery.
I would like to find a pen pal who is in a similar situation.
Best wishes to everyone!
Shannon

Hi sherry thanks for writing me back. I do not have a date set yet I am just now going thru the process of getting my lab work and dietitian appointments I see the psychologist next month and hope with in 6 months i will have a date. Nov uh that's awesome i wish mine was closer but this way I have time to focus on changing my habits lol. which surgery are you having done? I am hoping that insurance will pay for the sleeve but if not ill prob go w the bypass. I am a lil nervous about that procedure but Dr says he recommends that so I guess that's what Ill do. It was good hearing from you
