Support Group meeting this Tuesday in Orange, Ca.



Recommended Posts

Hey All,

FYI this Tuesday Feb 1, in Orange at St. Joseph medical center there is a support group meeting. There are two meetings 5 & 6 pm. It is a great way to meet people share stories and keep in touch with fellow bandsters. The meeting at 5 is for newbies or soon to be and also all is welcome to both whatever stage you are in. At 6, a psychologist comes to the meetings to chat about issues with the band and food. All in all its a great way to meet people and stay focused. No one is judging and it's completely easy going, actually kind of fun. It's held in the cancer center located at St. Josephs hospital. I will be there if anyone has questions about it please feel free to ask.

Hope to see you there.

I wish I could find a support group here in San Diego that will accept anyone regardless if they were banded their doctor or not...I was banded in Mexico and have yet to find a support group here.

Hey there,

Glad to see you are coming. Its in Orange, Ca. at the cancer center. If you park in the parking structure its free after 6 pm so thats cool. I really like these support meeting the info is good and it motivates me to stay focused and look at the big picture. I will be there I have short blonde hair and will be on crutches since I just had knee surgery thursday but I will be there so please find me and say hi. A few people that had surgery the same day as me will be there so there is alot of support. Even if you have to drive up why not its only once a month.

Hope to see all of you there. If you get lost just go to the Pavillion its a part of St. Joeseph Hospital not actually in the hospitol but next door they will direct you there they are very helpful and friendly.

Awesome! I am sooo going to try to make it!

      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!
