Here's my update...saw Dorothy, Jill the psyc, and Dr Demattia. I passed them all and next week I do day two of the half day appts. I see the Dr again to go over labs, work with Ptherapy for an hour and then the NUT for an hour. Working on my 3 day food log now, and I returned my at home sleep apnea machine last Thursday morning. Still waiting to hear back about the sleep study.

Any Park Nicollet people, did it take forever for the sleep center to give you your sleep study result? Seems like its taking forever.

Sounds like things are moving right along for you! Exciting! I think I got my sleep study results 5 days later. Good luck!

So, I got the results back and I've passed the sleep test! I did have 9 incidents per hour, but they said I do not have it and I passed!

I go back this Wednesday and work with Dr Demattia again, and they an hour with physical therapy and hour with Jill, a dietician.

I hope I'm cleared to proceed! I would love to be sleeved by Halloween!

Hi Everyone on this site...

Did you know that there is an "official" Twin Cities Bariatric Pal site?

There are a bunch of us meeting this Saturday (Sept 20) at the Perkins in Fridley (because this is centrally located for metro area).

We're meeting at 10am. The Perkins is on University Ave., just a bit north of 694 and really easy to find.

Hope one or all of you can join us. I am going to ask the host to seat us under the name "B Pal" so people can find out table.

My name is Marybeth Reed and I belong to a couple of message boards. The twin cities chapter one is pretty active. You can find it under this information:

Did anyone join the BariatricPal Chapter for Minneapolis/St. Paul? It also includes outlying areas like Redwingers, Hudsonites, and northerners.

Just trying to get all this Minnesota support under one roof so we can all benefit from the support.

If anyone is interested, having an informal little get-together on Friday, 10:00 a.m., at the Starbucks in the Mall of America. I know a lot of people work that day, but just wanted to throw it out there.

      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!
