Would anyone be interested in getting together for a monthly meet & greet? I'm in the Huntsville area & would love to start hosting an event so that we can have a local support system. Let me know if anyone is interested. Just a thought... :)

I am in Bham and had my surgery with Dr. Christopher at Shelby on April 23. Down 27 pounds! Finally healing and feeling better.

I am in Tuscaloosa, Al. I am talking to Shelby now about having surgery. I'm still in the process of getting all my info together. I haven't done a diet consecutively for six months but have other health problem that are well documented. Wondering if you know anything that can help me. Thanks

SuzieQ - I see we have the same surgeon. I am still in the pre-op stage of satisfying insurance requirements. I would love to get together sometime. I know there is a support group through the Drs office, but I am not a fan of formal things like that. I live in Madison.

      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!!

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!
