I might be out of town at that time but if not I would like to come. If I don't make it I definitely want to come to the next one!

Welcome, please email Mandy, our coordinator, at bariatricpaljacksonvillefl@gmail.com so she can add you to our group. We should enjoy the fun! Linda

Thank you! I just sent her the email! :)

I have not heard from our coordinator through Bariatric Pal so maybe something came up. Mandy, can you tell us what is going on? I am sure something came up. I went ahead and made other plans tomorrow. I am leaving Monday for a family reunion in West Virginia for a week. Please hang in there friends and maybe later this month we can work something out. I really want to meet you all and get together. In the meantime I will check emails and messages here. We can do this! Linda

My name is Mandy I have been in contact with Alex and I will be working with the Jacksonville chapter for local support meetings. We are working to have the first meeting in June. Please feel free to give me your best times/days so I can try to make this is accessible as possible. I will be talking to St. Vincent's Riverside today about using their meeting room. Also let me know if there are any particular guest speakers you would like to see. I'm thinking about a healthy cooking demo, maybe some plastic surgery seminars, I have someone that can help you pick out the correct workout/running shoes and he will offer discounts at his sales location. Any other requests? I figure I will talk to the local hospitals and see if they will allow us to host in their conference rooms, and we can either rotate areas or if there is a good central area we can make it a set monthly location.

Mandy, have you decided when we might be able to meet? Thanks, Linda

Hi everyone. I hope you all are doing well. I am kind of stuck and not losing weight since the heat is keeping me inside. However I did just order a yoga dvd and low impact fitness dvd to get me out of this slump. How is everyone? Linda

      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!
