Support Group meeting this Tuesday in Orange, Ca.



Recommended Posts

Hey All,

FYI this Tuesday Feb 1, in Orange at St. Joseph medical center there is a support group meeting. There are two meetings 5 & 6 pm. It is a great way to meet people share stories and keep in touch with fellow bandsters. The meeting at 5 is for newbies or soon to be and also all is welcome to both whatever stage you are in. At 6, a psychologist comes to the meetings to chat about issues with the band and food. All in all its a great way to meet people and stay focused. No one is judging and it's completely easy going, actually kind of fun. It's held in the cancer center located at St. Josephs hospital. I will be there if anyone has questions about it please feel free to ask.

Hope to see you there.

I wish I could find a support group here in San Diego that will accept anyone regardless if they were banded their doctor or not...I was banded in Mexico and have yet to find a support group here.

Hey there,

Glad to see you are coming. Its in Orange, Ca. at the cancer center. If you park in the parking structure its free after 6 pm so thats cool. I really like these support meeting the info is good and it motivates me to stay focused and look at the big picture. I will be there I have short blonde hair and will be on crutches since I just had knee surgery thursday but I will be there so please find me and say hi. A few people that had surgery the same day as me will be there so there is alot of support. Even if you have to drive up why not its only once a month.

Hope to see all of you there. If you get lost just go to the Pavillion its a part of St. Joeseph Hospital not actually in the hospitol but next door they will direct you there they are very helpful and friendly.

Awesome! I am sooo going to try to make it!

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

        So proud of you Cat. Getting into those smaller size clothes is half the fun isn't it?. Keep up the good work!!!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞

        I may have to have gall bladder surgery during my weight loss surgery. Not thrilled about it either but do not want 2 recovery times. Just want it over with.

        Thanks for your post. I may need to rethink my decision... :(
