I have a pretty flexible schedule for the next meeting or time as I'm single and don't have kids or spouse conflicts to work around so whatever you pick will probably work for me.

I say Polaris is probably a good bet. For consistency and ease of finding it and for Angie driving in from up north! :eek:

Ok! Since it seems that Saturday afternoon is the best bet for most of us why don't we plan to meet at Polaris in the food court at 2pm on Saturday February 9th?

Special K... will you bring the balloon and poster again? We'll be co-planners :-)

Does that sound good for everyone?

Yep, I'll bring along the poster I made and a helium balloon so you can all look for the balloon to find us. Last meeting we were just in front of Great Indoors where it was a little less noisy and less crowded but just pick a spot, we'll find each other with the balloon.

ok it is marked on my calendar with a sharpie!!!!! I can't wait to meet you all. On a biggest loser team at work weigh-in is Monday.I think it is cool my work is doing this to encourage a healthier life style they even gave us a week with a personal trainer. I haven't used that yet as I am taking classes at the Y 4 days a week. I wonder what my team gets if they win? I have really been working hard exercising 4 days a week and logging everything I eat and my scale seems to be stuck. I hope it decideds to move down on Monday.

Angie, log in Polaris Shopping Place...that's the mall. Or log in "The Great Indoors" which will put you right next to the food court. It is right off of 71, before you get to the outer belt of 270.

I can't wait to meet everyone.

Hi HeatherA,

Yes, I'm with Fresh Start! I'm nervous and was expecting to have my information sent to insurance no longer than Thurs. But they were faxed on Friday evening. Meaning Monday, so I guess the wait starts tomorrow. Yes, I would love to attend the support group because I need that support really bad.

Looks like Feb 9th is the day at Polaris. You can email me also: shotoftequila2003@yahoo.com

I'm so glad that you are doing better, I look forward to meeting with everyone!

Especially those of you going to Riverside. The staff will be joining the group too. Plus you can ask those who were banded before you!

      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!
