Hello all! I was sleeved 12/10 and am down 17lbs since surgery. I'm looking to see if there is anyone that lives near me and would like to become occasional work out buddies or attend support groups together. I live in the East Bay of Oakland-San Francisco area. :)

Hi I live in Greenbrae (N.Bay), I am scheduled for surgery on1/16. I wish I was in the east bay there are so many more options for work out groups. Have you ever looked at the meetup groups? There is a group I think its called WOW team its a womens walk run group, it sound great. But you should check out the meetup.com site there are really alot of options to find others in fitness. :) good luck

Hi - Congrats on your surgery and the progress you have made thus far!! I live in Los Gatos a little to far to travel to the east bay. I am still in the preop phase with surgery likely at the end of Feb/beginning of March. I do love to go for hikes and walk. I live next to the Vasona walking trail that goes all the way to Lexington, Rancho San Antonio, and Castle Rock. If you are ever in the south bay and want to meet up send me a message.

Since I ask everyone post surgery - where did you have your surgery, how was your recovery, what has been the hardest, the best, and lastly any suggestions to us pre sleevers on the best things to have around the first few weeks?

Thanks! Best of luck Bay Area Sleevers!

      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!
