My wife and I are both going through the process with Kaiser. We would love to build a support group with people from the High Desert.

Hello, I am here in Victorville and would be interested In joining a local support group. My surgery was 2-6-13 and I am in maintenance but have never been able to attend ours because my surgeons is in San Bernardino. How would this work and who would run it?

We would be willing to co host a local support group or just simply meet somewhere, converse via email. This is all very new to us and we only know of one support group in the High Desert and the date and time is hard for us to attend. Please feel free to call at 760-685-4961 or email keithsheryl@charter.net to discuss more. When calling please leave a message if I don't answer. Look forward from hearing from you.

      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!
