Bolingbrook, wow isn't that where Drew Peterson is from? Yikes, stay away from him. I know that is off topic but hope you get a good response from your query. Support is the name of the game.

Yeah, thats the Bolingbrook that Mr Peterson is from. He lives about 5 minutes from me, but I dont think you need to be scared of him...unless you marry him.

LOL, that is too funny. Is he really as big an ahole as he appears to be on tv. It appears he really wants to be caught. He can't keep his puss off the tube. I love true crime stories. That is about all I read. Yea you may not want to become too close to him. Has the media frenzy abated now?

Congrats. on the weight loss by the way. Did you know either of his wives? I am not sure how big Bolingbrook is. I am in southern Calif.

I dont know him personally, but I do work with a girl that he tried to pick up at a local sports bar. I guess the mourning period is over for him

Boy he has got a lot of nerve. I had heard that he was going to go on a radio show to get a date. The station would have a huge lawsuit because people around him seem to have really bad luck. It is too bad, he gives cops a bad name. I am sure he was always a dirty cop. His story fascinates me though. How I would love to get in his brain and figure our what makes him tick. A megalomaniac no doubt. He also seems to like them young. You have to feel sorry for his kids. There lives are ruined.

Hey let me know. I'm just down I57 in Manteno and would love to meet with others. I just got banded on Thursday so this is very new to me.

We have a group that meets for lunch about once a month. We are in the Chicago friends thread. Last time we had lunch at the Promanade. I'm in Romeoville. ~Mandy

I am still getting all my ducks in a row for surgery (hoping for August/September 2008), but would love to join a local support group. I live a few miles from Drew Peterson also, north of Boughton behind SportsAuthority.

res2987..we are so close! And guess what, my neighbor just had the lapband surgery about 8 weeks ago. I was thinking about a Friday night....the 1st? the 2nd or third Friday of the month. What do you think?

Hi Tomasa and ~Mandy - Friday's are bad because we have my 8 year old granddaughter on Friday nights. Hate to take time away from her since that's been the tradition since she was 1 month old! She lives in Yorkville so we only get to see her that one night a week.

Tues., Wed., or Thurs. would great for me. I get home from work at 6:00 p.m. and can meet up with the group by 6:15 or so. I work downtown Chicago, so I can't exactly do lunch unless it's on the weekend. Sounds like we have 4 or 5 people within a 3 or 4 mile radius between BB and Romeo. Could be a nice little support group to get started. I'm the only one pre-surgery though. : ( I am working with Dr. Lahmann at Silver Cross and they have a support group after surgery, but a group closer to home would be more convenient. Where did you have your surgery?

Let me know what you think!

      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!
