For those that are post op, do to recall how long after your last nutrition appointment was your surgery scheduled? My last nutrition appointment is on the 9th, so I was just trying to get a gauge on how the process with Chrias moves after that.

My last appointment was 11/9, and I got my surgery date right after Thanksgiving. So it was a few weeks. My insurance approval was very quick (like 3 or 4 days!!). Throw in Thanksgiving and that slowed things down a bit. If you are going through Dr. Wynn/Irgau/etc., you might want to stop in or call and make sure that they have all of your clearances. They had all of mine, but not one of my husband's. It was an easy fix, but if you are anxious to get a surgery date (and who isn't? ).

Hello ! I had my sleeve surgery in October 2016. My issue that I am having now is that I am craving sweets and carbs. I am having a hard time just saying no to them. I also haven't been exercising lately. I need motivation and support. I live in Delaware , but currently commuting to King go Prussia for work 5 days a week, working 10 hour shifts. With all the traffic I deal with I am exhausted mentally and physically when I get home. I need some advice. I know I need to remove the trigger/ slider items out of my environment . I need to get back on track. Encourage !

Well sounds like you did a great diagnostic of your program and Identified at least two common issues. You need to get back on track right away before you spiral down and start to regain. Search 5 day pouch test, this method should stop the cravings for the carbs. Make sure you always have a good Protein snack with you for that long commute. The "not exercising to tired" is a vicious cycle, exercise is what helps us mentally to reset and also builds the energy back. Start small with just walking. You have done this before, and you are important enough to do it again.Try to be more active on the website or go to local Support Group if you can. Do not allow your hard work so far to go to waste. The further you get out the harder it is to stay on program so start TODAY!! Try to be more active on the website or go to local Support Group if you can.

Hi,

Today I joined this group. I had sleeve surgery on March 7th at Wilmington Hospital. I have lost 76 lbs. Dr. Irgau was my surgeon. Absolutely love him! A friend recommended Dr. Wynn, but she wasn't available when I wanted. I'm so glad that I decided to go with him. I'm not saying Dr. Wynn isn't good. I'm sure she is. Just I am so pleased with his mannerism and his professionalism.

I have a couple barriers:

- My family support system is basically gone. They were great a first. Not too much any more. I've talked to them and I get that I know what to do or I'm old enough to know what is right and what is wrong. Ugh!!

- I have a thyroid disease with large nodules that may need surgery. This is causing very slow weight loss.

- I have leg problems that makes exercising / walking difficult.

Does anyone know if there are support groups in the northern Wilmington area?

Any ideas are definitely welcomed.

Thank you for listening!

Hello:

I found this listing on a different website, it seems to list a lot but the did not list my group but that is OK, I am not close enough for you so check out the list.

I would thought you doctor would have said to go to the CHRAIS Support Group. However, you can go to any support groups or multiple ones.

Sounds like you need the support, so find one that fits or at least become active on the On line support sites. Good Luck!

They did say to go there. I don't live that close to Christiana Hospital. Besides traffic is horrible around there this time of year.

I understand, that part of the reason I started a group in Dover. That list gives you some other options.

I hope one will work for you.
