Hello MusicMom and welcome to this wonderful forum. I am from the East Bay, San Fransico area. I stumbled across this website the later part of March and l absolutely love it. I'm currently going through the process of having WLS. I meant with my surgeon on Tuesday and on June 20th I'm scheduled to meet with the psy for eval. I'm excited and nervous at the same time. This is definitely a HUGH lifestyle comittment. But I think I'm ready for the change. So hop on in and ask as many questions, browse through as many post, give suggestions and make comments.

Hello! I'm in the east bay. Been here my whole life. I recently had my Sleeve surgery just in March 2017 and I'm 4 months Post op. So far I've lost 50lbs.
I feel great and so happy I made the decision.

I'm happy to answer any questions.
Welcome to this awesome support system.

Hi there! Just joined the site about twenty minutes ago and excited! Hopefully I can connect with someone who lives in the San Jose area. I had my surgery on June 20th of this year in Palo Alto and feeling good (: Just completely sick of this liquid only diet!

Welcome Sam
I go to good Sam as there is no bariatric fills that I know of on this side of the hill.
What an exciting time of changes for you ! you gotta believe and trust the program I think. I'm 10 years post op ( banded). So different wls. But I'm still working on staying consistent: Protein and exercise being my main components. And that 90 lbs never came back thankfully!
Keep posting..., it is good to see fresh people overcoming a big life obstacle like obesity....

Yes! Maybe we can do a meet up at a park or a Starbucks? (My dr doesn't allow coffee but I can get a tea!) I'm open Monday thru Friday from 4-7 in the San Jose area and during the weekends since I live in Hayward I'm open to meeting in Fremont or Milpitas. Also I created and instagram page just in case that is easier for everyone to message : Sasha.thesleeve

Hi! I live near Palo Alto. I'm having surgery at Stanford on August 7th. Maybe we can gather the Bay Area locals and meet in an area that works for everyone?

I live in Palo Alto and would be available for meet ups this side of the peninsula. As I'm retired I'm pretty free on time.

      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!
