Recommended Posts

I'm looking for fellow Bandsters in the San Francisco area. I will be having my surgery in late April/ early May and would love I have some close by band buddies to chat with!

How are you guys doing? I'm good. 3 month post op. I've lost about 35lbs. I've had some interesting little issues. Nothing major. Mostly just me getting used to the band. Would love to have some locals to chat with.

Sounding like there are a few of us in the South Bayish area I am open to trying to meet to be with others on this band journey. Except for this forum, I only have one other friend who had the sleeve surgery. Any ideas?

Hi Everyone,

I wanted to let you know of the SF/Bay Area WLS Support Group! We meet on the first Saturday of the month in downtown San Francisco. The group is open to everyone (any surgery, any surgeon) and is moderated by me (a licensed therapist & wellness coach with a specialization in WLS).

Feel free to contact me at taragriffithmft@gmail.com if you'd like more information. Eventually, I hope to get our a group listed on Bariatric Pal (but I'm not quite there yet... a work in progress!!)

Have a wonderful weekend :)

Tara

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

        Have a great Wednesday too! Sorry you're hungry all the time, I'm pretty much the same..and I'm sick of eating the same food all the time.

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
