Group Therapy with a specialist!



Recommended Posts

Hey NC over achievers! I love that idea!

I spoke with Loretta last night and we are hoping to find 2 or 3 more people who would be interested in group therapy with a professional counselor who has had WLS, (the slow way), and is a professional.

If any of you are interested please let me know.

As we all know this is a heart, mind and soul process. To learn from someone who has been trained to counsel, and has been where we are is truly a gift.

This is in no way to replace our monthly meetings.

Dianne,

Tell me more, i.e. cost, frequency, duration, location, etc.? Needless to say, I won't commit to anything until I know I'm getting surgery; does a "definite maybe" work? I like oxymorons (sp?) :)

It would be in the Stonecrest Ballentyne area, which is the Rea Rd exit off of 485.

Most likely it would be every 2-3 weeks. I have to check with Debbie on that it maybe only once a month.

She told me she would keep the cost down around 15-20 a session.

I can let you know next week sometime the exact details.

Thanks for the offer...but for one that is too far for me to drive. Uptown or something like that would be better for me. The first of the year I made a pack to myself to start going to Angela's support group meetings at Presby it's not just for Dr. V's patients anyone can come. They are free. So Thanks again for the offer...it's very nice of her to offer her time.

Rea Rd. is a bit of a hike from Belmont too. I may reconsider at a later date, but for now I think I'll have to pass too. Thanks for keeping us in mind!

      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!
