How many people attend this support group meeting? I started attending the monthly meetings at Kent General as a pre-op. Always looking to meet others who have been through the process.

Hello:

I too have been to the KG group, I picked different day to meet so you can do both if you choose. This is just getting started so there are just 3-4 regulars right now but hoping to expand. We focus more on the individual and the support you may need or can offer to the group. Come out and give us a try I think you will like the group. If you have more questions fire away. I am here to help.

Hi! Are you still doing these support meetings? I'm going through Walter Reed bariatric surgery program and i need to attend 5 support group meetings before surgery. I'm guessing these would count.

Yes, we meet every 3rd Thursday of the Month at 5:30 pm, so our next meeting is August 20th, I do have Jury Duty this week so I hope that does not mess up my meeting. I think we may have already talk on the phone before. I hope to see you there!

Nope I haven't talked to you on the phone yet. I have a friend who just had the sleeve done last week who I hope to bring with me sometime. Have you met with any other Walter Reed bariatric surgery patients? Or are any in your group?

      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!
