Hi there,

My doctor is in Parker also. Dr. Matthew Metz. He is awesome. :) How much are you looking to lose? I am sure you will make it in December.

I am wanting to lose 150 lbs. I have always been active, but this year I have actually started to feel my weight is slowing me down. I always promised myself that if I ever felt that my weight was slowing me down that I would do the surgery.

I'm in Colorado Springs. I attend a support group on Ft Carson. Sorry, I don't know of any groups off base.

I am In Castle Rock. My surgery pre-appointment is 11-13-2014. I should find out my surgery date (i'm hoping for the second week in December) I want to lose about 95 lbs and get into a size 34 jeans. I have completed my 6 weeks of classes and tried out the liver shrinking diet. Biggest fear- the surgery not resolving my diabetes, A close second is lactose intolerance. My BMI is 36.

Don't know why it is sideways but here is a list of support groups I was provided with.

Sorry for the delay in response. I am looking to lose 100 lbs. My surgery is scheduled for 11/24. I am getting super nervous. Do you know when your surgery date is yet?

I won't be able to have my surgery until May at the earliest. I will finish my 6 months of classes in April.

      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.

        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!
