Anyone in Central New Jersey?



Recommended Posts

Going to St. Barnabas to have my band removed on the 25th. Then I will get my date for the gastric sleeve. I have a feeling that I'm going to need a good support group this time around.

@@Penny C. - I'm doing great! Almost a month out and am down 20lbs. I think the biggest difference is how I feel...I feel lighter...easier to walk and move. I'm so glad i did it! Let me know if you need anything or have questions. I'd gladly help and would love someone here in Monroe!

I found an online Facebook group through this site that has been amazing! I also saw that there is a group at Raritan Bay Old Bridge on the 3rd Thurs of each month, but have not gone yet.

Thanks for the info. I am very close to Somerset Medical Center but I have told no one except family about my surgery and I didn't want to run into anyone I knew so I have never gone. My little town is like living in a fish bowl, everyone knows everyone's business and love to gossip. Raritan Bay is close enough but yet far enough.

      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!!
