Hey everyone!

My name is Rachel and I am going to be in charge of the local group for MI. Right now I am trying to figure out what city has the most interest to determine where to meet. If anyone has any ideas of places or times that would work best, please let me know because I will take feedback in order to determine the best time and place to meet. Can't wait to meet everyone! Please follow this forum for future dates, times and location. Please provide some feedback on what works best. Thank you!!

Yes there are many support groups throughout the state, however the one I'm looking to start is based from Bariatric Pal. I live in Lansing but I didn't have my surgery in the state. It's more of a thing to connect outside a surgeons office and have support from local people.

OH i misunderstood what you were trying to do :) i have no support besides this page. i had a girl that had surgery around the same time as i did. i would send her encouragement but never really got anything out of the situation. When i stopped contacting her the relationship ended. Would be nice to have someone(s) who understands what im going thro :)

Hey Everyone,

It's been a while since I have been on here. I am still looking at places to have a group. I think I have some great content for meetings and I think it would be great if some of us could get together for general support and meet ups. If anyone has any suggestions please let me know. Thanks!

Im in the Detroit metro area and love would a support group. Beaumont has one but if you didnt get your surgery done there you have to pay to go to the support groups.

      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!
