Hi:

My name is K and I would be very interested in your support group you are starting. There is also another girl down the road from me that might be interested, but I will have to talk to her after I find something out definite. I think that Dr. Speigel requires us to attend at least four a year, really not sure, but I think that it will do alot of good for myself and others as well. Soo please let me know as soon as you have a date of when you plan to start, I would be happy to attend. Thanks. You can email me kclang@myway.com

I'm sorry but the post was in 2005. We met for over a year and then other obligations got in the way. We had started to attend Dr. Chung's Support Group but we just got tired of the Dr. Spiegel bashing at each meeting. You can always try and start a Lake Charles group again. Lisa

Thanks but no thanks, I have a hard time just trying to get my duties in order. I will try to attend the Texas meetings if I get the chance. I just thought closer was better. After all Dr. Speigel is advertising on our local channels, and after all, he is accepting Louisiana money, he should not leave us out and have his staff start a group. But it was our choice to let him perform our surgery. Thanks for asking though, just not possible on my part, right now anyway.

      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!
