Kansas City Area Sleevers?



Recommended Posts

Is there anyone in NKC that wants to start a support group with me? The drive for the other one is too much for me

Well I'm not sleeved yet but I'm in Ray County - about 45 minutes NE of KC so I will definitely be interested in meeting up a little closer to home too !! - I don't mind driving into KC now and then but yes, it can be a bit of a schlep.

I'm in the northland a lot and would meet with you guys sometimes. I've had to miss the last couple of meetings in blue springs so another meeting would be nice.

Just wanted to let you ladies that were at our last meeting know that my daughter, Madison, was sleeved on Wed. 8/14 by Dr. Guillermo Alvarez in Mexico. Surgery went perfectly and we flew home today. She is so excited to be on the loser's bench!!

I realized that we have a conflict with the 4th Saturday and another meeting. I was wondering if moving the meeting in September to the third Sat, at about 10:30 AM would be better for everyone. They have a group that meets in the large room from 9- about 10:30. We could do earlier and maybe we could sit outside if the weather is good. It is just pretty tight in the small room for all of us to be at one small table. Let me know what you think!

We meet right outside of Blue Springs at the Lead Bank, they have a coffee shop in the basement, The Bean Counter. They have coffee, Protein drinks and other goodies.

I think if we meet about 9:30 AM on the 3rd Saturday that we can possibly sit outside until the room gets cleared. It takes a few minutes to order and get your drink, so by the time we get a drink, the big room meeting should be about ready to be done. Please invite any other local sleevers or those thinking about having the surgery. If you have a favorite snack or recipe please being it to share. See all of you soon!

      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!
