I would love to meet with some of you ladies. I am east bay (Brentwood). I'm trying to go to support group in Antioch through Kaiser, but the new year calendar is not approved yet. I just think any support I can get at this point will be helpful. Again I am going through Fremont Kaiser. I have a friend in Brentwood that is also pre-op and going through Kaiser Richmond. I'm sure she would love to come too.

I go tomorrow for my physciatric appointment. I get so nervous with every appointment. I'm afraid they are going to say "you can't have the surgery now". I feel like now that I have made my decision to go for it, I'm going to be let down. Wish me luck!

Hope you all had a nice holiday. It is such a hard time of year to try to loose weight or keep it off.

Take Care,

Drea

Hey Drea!!

I'm a pre-op Kaiser Fremont gal too, but live in Tracy. As it turns out, I'll be going to me first-ever meeting in Antioch next Tuesday (the day actually works for me...yay!), so if you can make it...that'd be fab :)

The Psych had me all wierded out too, but it was just a really chill chit-chat session. I felt silly that I had actually postponed it a couple of times!

I don't have a ton of friends on here as I spend far more time on FB (just joined a couple great groups there), but if you ever want to chit-chat PM me. It'd be great to have a pal going through the same thing and in the somewhat same timeframe.

Hi Drea, have you gotten a surgery date? I'm going through Kaiser Fremont and Dr Chu is my surgeon. Hope to hear from you soon. Good luck to everyone pre-op and post-op.

      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!
