I'm in Wylie and feel like I need a support group right away. Did you ever find one?

How did everyone's surgery go? My daughter just did hers on this past Tuesday with Dr. Ham. I'm hoping we can get the group started pretty soon in the Wylie, Richardson or Plano area. I feel like I'm struggling and need to talk.

I'm not from Texas but hubby is and we go back and forth to DFW area. I was banded in 2008 but had some Fluid backed out and gained some back due to prior divorce and moving back to California from back east. I finally got another fill a Month ago so have had to relearn some things quickly again. If I can be of help to any of you guys let me know.. Just ask

Alright peeps. If we are going to start a group - then let's start! What days and areas work best? I work in the Plano area 6-3 during the week so I'm available anytime after work to meet and I think we should. I'm near Frisco.

Give some feedback and let's get this thing rolling. There's a need so let's get together and discuss!

      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!!
