Looking for support in brevard county



Recommended Posts

Hi all. I'm 3 months out from my surgery and really need some support. I was banded in another county so I don't have access to support groups/events in the area. Do you know of any in brevard county. I'm 28 and would also like to have a buddy that knows what I'm going through and going through some of the same things. Also has been pregnant with the band or planning in it. Thanks!

I'm not in brevard but I'm in Polk. About a hour away. Congrats on your surgery. I had my lapband 3.5 years but go in on Friday for surgery to have my lapband replaced. My current lapband is too small. What are you experiencing?

I'm getting ready for my surgery on the 27th of this month. I'm using Dr. Fusco, and feel that the members of his team have been really supportive. I live in the Saint Cloud area and am looking for a support group a little closer than the Melbourne Area.

I'm in Clearwater (so I know we're a bit far distance wise), but I did get the band specifically to help lose weight and hopefully help with some fertility issues. My surgeon knows of my desire for pregnancy as well as my ob knows of the band. There is a specific pregnancy forum if you're looking for something specific.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!

      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.
