Looking For Support Groups



Recommended Posts

I live in southern Connecticut and attend a monthly support group. I would like to attend more because I don't find one to be enough. Are there any other groups around? I go to the one at St. Vincent's.

I know White Plains Hospital Center and The New Image Surgical Weight Loss Center in Dobbs Ferry Hospital in NYS have support meetings if that not far for you.

Hello, I to live in southeastern CT. I am in Ledyard .I use to go to LM's weekly support group with Judy Fabricant in the mental health department. It's a great group my only problem was it's a paid group so if you don't have insurance that covers it, it is way to expensive. But either way her # is 443-1111 that's her business phone#.

I see you've been to St. vincent support groups did you have Dr. Erhlich if you don't mind me asking. That is who my surgeon is. I am just coming up on my 1 year anniversary! Yeahhhhhhhhhh............

I am also trying to work with Kevin at his office to get a free bi weekly support group up and running . But that could be sometime before that gets going.....

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.

      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!
