That's one of his requirements...support group attendance as a pre op. Are you post op? What was your timeline like?

I had RNY revision on 6/28/12. My dr is up in concord so he recommends a support group at north east med center. I'm hoping to find one in Charlotte.

Hey, Charlotte here. Working, did you find your support group? I am going to one tomorrow night. It's required by my surgeon pre-op too.

Hey working4shoes! I'm in Salisbury and also had Dr. Bauman - June 20th...he's excellent. Do you go to support meetings? I've been thinking about it but don't know when/where.

I love Dr. Bauman, he is great! He has done both of my surgeries. They have a support group it is actually run by the nutritionist Diane and is at the hospital. I don't know when the Sept meeting is though. I live about 40 mins from the hospital so I was hoping to find one that is in Charlotte. I will let you know when the next one is and maybe I will make it up there.

How are you doing so far?

Hey L Belle - Where is your support group located tomorrow? I haven't found one in Charlotte yet.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
