Your program doesn't offer any support groups? If you type in support groups in the search box located in the upper right corner you may be able to find one near you.

Hi and welcome! I agree with BLERDgirl. face to face support groups are so helpfull! Of course you are welcome here as well. I don't know when my surgery will be scheduled, but once I know, I'll be blurting it out here in BP land!

you mean surgery 2/15 right?? not 2/16 right??

ask your NUT (nutritionist) or surgeon about finding a support group

they hopefully can advise you

call the hospital where you will be having surgery

thats what i did

they were very nice and told me where to go :huh: :lol: :lol:

good luck bud

      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!!
