@BluebonnetMagnolia I'm not sure if there is anything I found better and I so desperately looked ;). How did everything go?

Oh, you'd love it. It's nice to see other people and hear their stories. People further out are great sources for information and YOU can be helpful to 'newbies'!!!

I plan on going to the one at Forest Park Medical Center this coming Wed. You should come! If you are interested, let me know and I'll forward you the email from the dietitian. Everyone is welcome, not just patients that had surgery at this hospital. We just bought a house in Plano in Nov. I may try to find something closer to us and attend it as well as the one at Forest Park!!! :)

Thank you bunches for the invite. I truly feel like a support group would be helpful and I am going to look for one locally. I'm almost two hours away from FP Med center :(

Oh, that's too bad, I'm sorry!!! You'll find one closer, I'm sure of it. There are many to choose from. We moved to NE Plano from Valley Ranch, I still drove to Forest Park, but I googled and found several in or around Irving. Good luck!!!

What area are you in? What direction? I found two that are so much closer to me since we moved to NE Plano. We're closer to Frisco, Allen and even McKinney, than we are to the middle of Plano!! Anyway, I found two different support groups here in Plano. I think I'll try one or both and see which I like. One meets once a month, the other meets bi-monthly.

I'm in Allen, let me know which one is better! Thanks so much!

I sure will. If you're in Allen, you probably aren't far from where I am. Sometimes I grocery shop at the Market Street there on Bethany or the Kroger on McDermott. We like the Star Bucks there on McDermott too, we can almost always get a table!! We live off Hedgecoxe about three blocks. One side of Hedgecoxe is Plano, the other side is Allen.

I live right by that Market Street! I know exactly where you are! That is awesome! We should definitely meet up! I am still pre-op, I get my date next Tuesday when I meet Dr. Marsden.

Oh my gosh, I was hoping you'd be close to that area. Any day you want to meet for coffee, I'm game. Do you know where that Star Bucks is that I'm talking about on McDermott? I think it's right across from Home Depot.

Yes I do know where that is! Ok, definitely, the next week is kind of crazy, but maybe the last week of February??

You let me know when, and I'll meet you. Sounds like fun! I attended that support group at Baylor Plano last night. Probably THE BEST one I've ever been to! It's once a month from 6:30 - 8PM. Also, from 6 - 6:30 there is a clothes closet, people donate clothes that have gotten too big for them, it's free. Take what you need, donate what you can't wear any longer. I wish I'd had something like this when I was giving all my stuff to Good Will......anyway....just let me know!

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
