Anyone in Central New Jersey?



Recommended Posts

Going to St. Barnabas to have my band removed on the 25th. Then I will get my date for the gastric sleeve. I have a feeling that I'm going to need a good support group this time around.

Hi everyone! Looking for local support meetings in Central NJ. Having Gastric Sleeve surgery Dec3 in Morristown, but want to find a support group more local for after. Any suggestions? I'm in the Monroe Twp/ East Brunswick area

@@Penny C. - I'm doing great! Almost a month out and am down 20lbs. I think the biggest difference is how I feel...I feel lighter...easier to walk and move. I'm so glad i did it! Let me know if you need anything or have questions. I'd gladly help and would love someone here in Monroe!

I found an online Facebook group through this site that has been amazing! I also saw that there is a group at Raritan Bay Old Bridge on the 3rd Thurs of each month, but have not gone yet.

Thanks for the info. I am very close to Somerset Medical Center but I have told no one except family about my surgery and I didn't want to run into anyone I knew so I have never gone. My little town is like living in a fish bowl, everyone knows everyone's business and love to gossip. Raritan Bay is close enough but yet far enough.

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
