Shanghai China?



Recommended Posts

Hi,

I'd love to start a support group in Shanghai China. Alas there is me and one other guy I know. A few locals who don't speak English which is ok except my Chinese is "ma ma hu hu". So maybe there is somebody else out here?

Hi there, just wanted to say I hope you find some people! I was in Beijing for two months this summer (before I was banded)... the culture is so different there that it definitely was so much more difficult for overweight people like me. I was working over at the olympics and I had to get sized for a uniform, which was probably the most embarrassing experience of my life! But, the good news is, I lost 15 pounds over those two months on my own just because of the food there.

Are you still in Shanghai? I'm moving near Shanghai this year and needing information regarding fills and lap band Dr's in the Shanghai area.

I am 7 years post surgery and living in Guilin, Guangxi, China. I would also like to locate a Chinese bariatric surgeon in case I might require a fill or a revision.

        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!!

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!
