Hi Faith. I had my band done by Dr. Clark (Dr. T's partner) on 5/12. I'd be happy to meet!! I've been looking for some sort of support group. I went to the nutrition class last night at the Careplex but it was just a quick here's what you should be eating and the support group didn't meet. Another lady there mentioned she felt like she was on her own too. I'd love more support groups!:thumbup:

Hey was wondering if anyone from the Hampton Roads area is still around here on the board? I was just banded back in April by Dr. T. Looking for some friends in the area to meet up with, and also any additional support groups around here besides the monthly one through the clinic.
If you find any other support groups PLEASE let me know. I have been looking for almost 2 years. I was banded in Mexico so no one will except me in the support groups around here. I've found you can't even pay them to let you in.

Could we start one ourselves? I'd be happy to do any organizing necessary. I think it really important to have local support. How about it anyone interested?

Wondering if anyone is still out there? I would love to meet up at Starbucks with some locals.

I'm so glad people have responded to this idea. What is close? How about Newport News? I'm in Williamsburg but willing to drive a bit if necessary.

I'm in Yorktown, I know of another person in the Burg and two others in Yorktown.

Almost any time is good with me if I'm in town, so are any others interested?

Maybe a restaurant, like County Grill or TGIF, I'm flexible :)

We could do a restaurant if everyone that wants to meet can eat :). If there is some one that needs to do lighter food is there a Panera or Starbucks in that area?

There is a Panera off of coliseum and Starbucks is everywhere. I would prefer Starbucks myself :)

      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!
