Hi Ash!

I would love to be friends. I just stumbled across this site and it's the best ever. I am less than 3 weeks out to my surgery date. It would be great to be friends with someone to share ideas, questions, advice or just to check up on each other. Look forward to hearing from you!

Sondra:)

Hi Sondra - just saw your post - we are all about the same time - maybe we could get a small group setup and work together and not necessarily all the 1000's of people out here. lol

Hi Ash & All the Folks Who Responded,

This is WeeWers. I posted a while ago for a buddy and got 2 lovely replies. It seems your post is coming together to form it's own sub-group within this forum. I would *very* much like to be part of this group -- but I don't know how to go about it.

I'm 5-6 and weigh about 300 pounds. If all goes well I'm looking at a June surgery. This forum is soooooooooo big that I think it would be very difficult to make friends here. Hence, why I'm interested in the group. I'm home-bound and do not have friends outside of my husband. Do you think you could keep me updated as to being part of the group. Is the main focus of the group for folks who are sleeved in May & June? If not, is there another focus -- or just being buddies -- which is good enough for me!

Take care all,

WeeWers

So is there anyway we can all communicate as a group?

nope just forums, its not set up like Facebook to where your friends have a wall to post...it does alert you when someone whose friends with you changes their status, but no group chats besides the instant messagener at the bottom

of the screen

      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!
