Hi Folks,

I have one friend in the SF Bay area and we were thinking of starting a support Group. Anyone interested in joining us? Please reach out to me.

Some Ideas that I have:

- Walking / hiking group

- Support meetings

- Phone chains

@@MissAKY - there. I work in Redwood City and would be willing to meet you if you need some help after work anytime. I am six months out from surgery and I have surgery at good Samaritan in San Jose.

OMG - that's awesome! I work in San Mateo (for now)! How did you feel 2 weeks post op? I am supposed to fly 2 weeks, 1 day after surgery. I am flying to DC with a layover in Chicago. So it won't be too long of a flight. This all liquid diet is starting to wear on me. I'm pretty excited about and ready for the surgery party to be over.

Can't make Saturday. But please keep posting meetings. As the weather gets better also. The drive from below Santa Cruz will be better. I would love to find a nice group to share!

New to the site. Did you all start a group in the Bay Area? If not, for the last 17 years I've been leading a support group in the East Bay. We now meet at the Alameda Hospital on the 3rd Saturday of the month. www.eastbaybariatric.org.

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

        Have a great Wednesday too! Sorry you're hungry all the time, I'm pretty much the same..and I'm sick of eating the same food all the time.

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
