I had my surgery done by Atkinson

I wonder if we could attend each other's meetings. I am curious about each doctors information. I wish there was a group in Henderson.

I had my surgery with Atkinson too!

I have been searching for my fellow Nevada peeps! lol glad I found this post. Is there a local group? my work hours never allow me to get to the support group Atkinson has so I'm left with forums. would be great to connect with others in my area.

I tried to see if it was possible to go to Blossom's support group and they told me no because I'm not a patient of theirs. That sucks, the one my doctor has is on the days I work and can't change my schedule.

It does but sometimes I want to actually be at a support meeting to meet people who are local to me.

I've lost 123 pounds since surgery as of last week. haven't checked this week. I went to my 6 month check up on Monday and it says I was two more pounds lighter but I am counting when I am in normal work clothes since that is when I weigh myself.

I had two sleeve surgeries done by Dr. Hucbach with Blossom. My stomach grew back and I put back my weight on from the first one. According to the doctor it is very rare, had the second on March 2015. Had the first one on December 7 2012.

But I am not lossing any weight with the second one, I am back to my old habits and having a horriable time. All stress and medical problems. I haven't been to any group meetings, because I am afraid to live my husband alone. He is very ill. It is very depressing to have this happen.

Derecksgram sorry to hear about your husband. And hopefully you start slowly with different routines so you can start working out so you won't feel bad.

      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!
