Are you looking for the BariatricPal Store? Go now!

Recommended Posts

Looking for folks to connect with from the northern suburbs, etc. I'm in Champlin but if we have enough folks maybe a rotation of locations to accommodate the variety of locations would be the way to go. I love a little coffee shop (can't drink it but love the aroma). Any thoughts?

I'm currently in Burnsville, but we are moving north this summer. I'm in the north/western suburbs all the time. I'd love to meet up with other people :-)

I've no preference on location - just thinking that a place that's accustomed to folks sitting for a while would be nice. Maybe - dare I even say it - Denny's or Baker's Square off Round Lake? They certainly are used to such behavior :-)

Denny's or Baker's Square off round lake would work great for me!

I am open anytime, thinking Maple Grove is a neutral place between champlin and golden valley. How does the Olive Garden sound. We could do appetizers - not that expensive if we share it. Or even Soup. I'm flexible with date and time right now.

I'm pretty flexible too. Olive Garden sounds good. Wednesday lunch or dinner? I work Th, F, Sa nights 7p-7am, but Tues night or Thurs lunch would work too.

Olive Garden in Maple Grove sounds like a plan. I'm a M-F first shift person so evenings or weekends work for me...How's next Wednesday night (the 18th) sound? Say 6:00? Does that give everyone time to get done with the day and get there?

I am having Gastric Sleeve surgery on August 27 in Mexico. I am looking to join a local group for support. I live in Woodbury.

LOL, and you can see how much you will be able to eat afterwards! I had my VSG on May 12th and ate at the Olive Garden tonight - just got home as a matter of fact. Let's see - less than one half of a "taster plate" skewer of chicken (so maybe the equivalent of 1 1/2 chicken mcnuggets?) and one cheese ball - done! and worth every yummy bite!

Alright everyone it's a date. Wednesday, June 18, @ 6pm at the Olive Garden in Maple Grove. A table for 4 or more. Ask for 'baby' (as in baby sleeve). See you all then!

      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!
