support group to make



Recommended Posts

I'm new to this site and would really like to start a meeting session at my home maybe a couple times a week depending on how the turnout is. We would get together and support each other and discuss whatever we need to let out about any troubles difficulties or even good things that maybe helpful to each other. if people are interested and in the Akron area please let me know so we can put something together whenever would be best for everyone. thank you, M0-Sleeve

I am not sure I understand your idea. You want to have strangers, and people that are pre and post-op to your home during a pandemic and right before flu season? I’m not trying to be snarky, I am baffled by this idea and want to make the suggestion that you try a Zoom support group until things are safer. Best of luck! Be safe.

Perhaps consider creating an advertisement for this and pass it along through the Bariatric center you went through

Good Luck ♥️

Welcome to the forums.

I have to agree with Zom B. This is not the time for such things.

When it is time, this is probably not the best venue as we have members from around the world. The number of us in or near Akron my not be as large as one might imagine.

Remember, we are strangers on the interwebs. We may not be who we seem to be. You want to invite strangers into your home.

Another thought is most surgeons have their own support groups. There must be several in Akron. If you're surgeon wasn't in Akron, go talk to a local surgeon and see if you can join one of their groups. If you have a problem with your surgeon in Akron, go to a different surgeon and explain the situation, and they'll likely allow you to join their group.

Whatever you do, be very careful.

Good luck

      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!
