Can someone post a link or information regarding support groups in the Charlotte area? I'm being sleeved on Oct 15th & will be in the Belmont area from Fri Oct 12 through probably Fri Oct 26th & would love to meet some other sleevers in the area while I'm in town.

Thanks!

I have the Presbyterian Bariatric Network Support Group info: Meets every 3rd Monday of each month, 6:30pm at Presbyterian Hospital Charlotte (Center Court/Bobcat Room); Every 4th Wednesday of each month @ Presbyterian Hospital Huntersville (Physicians Buildin-Community Classroom main floor); Every 4th Monday of each month @ Presbyterian Hospital Matthews (Community Rooms A or C).

Then I have info for Southeast Bariatrics Support Groups meeting 2nd Monday of every month @ The Cornwell Center @ Myers Park Baptist Church 6:30pm.

I am not sure if these are supposed to be for Presby patients or Southeast Bariatric patients only or not. There is a number to call for the Presby ones: 704-316-8000 and for the Southeast Bariatric one: 704-316-7760

      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!
