Hi. My parents live in AZ city right near you. I'm in Las Cruces near El Paso. I'm 9 months out and started at 352. I would love to support you any way I can;)

Hi, I live here in AZ too and will also have Dr. Fang as my surgeon! The end of April marks my completion of 6 months supervised weight loss. I just had my psych evaluation and have a sleep study coming up in 2 weeks. I weigh 270 and am 5'9 so am just on the borderline of a BMI of 40. Hoping my insurance approves me without a fight. I needs this!!

I winter in Casa Grande, usually from October to April, where I reside at the Val Vista RV Resort north of town. I am pre-surgery at this time and would like to have someone in CG to visit with. If you're interested in a WL friend, just let me know. Good luck on your journey. *-)

Hi Marlene, I live in Maricopa and visit CAsa grande frequently, I am pre-op now but plan on surgery sometime late November early December. How old are you? When are you planning on having surgery and at what clinic? Also you can find me on Facebook under Jennifer hardison and then I can add you to our Phx area local support group page. Can't wait to hear back from you

My surgery will hopefully happen sometime early December in Reno (my primary residence). I'm 67 years young. . Will be in CG after my 30 day checkup. Will visit your Facebook page.

      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!
