Topic: RE: Post-Op Support Group Meeting Thursday?
Well.....how did it go?
I was having my own little quasi support group meeting with a group of women from the Over 50 Forum in Philadelphia. What a great time we had!!! I did think about all of you and we chatted about our meetings here in LR.
Hope it was a good one, see you next month!

Topic: Post-Op Support Group Meeting Thursday?
Unfortuantely,I was unable to attend the Walk From Obesity last weekend. My military husband ended up having to work the air show that morning. I was just wondering if we were still have the regular post-op support group meeting this Thursday or not. I know that there had been some discussion about having one or not as I know the walk counted as a support group meeting for the pre-ops. Just wondering if we were on for this Thursday or not?
Topic: xrays and flatulence
I had bypass surgery 5 years ago and have had a storybook recovery and weight loss since then. The only problem i have had is that my wife has said since the surgery i have an excess amount of gas (flatulence). Well i haven't worried too much about it until just recently. I have had several xrays because of kidney stones since surgery and they always say i have a lot of gas and it makes the kidneys and especially the stones difficult to see. They have always managed to see the stones and do the lithotripsy procedure to break up the stone. However a couple of days ago i was scheduled for lithotipsy and the gas in my large intestine prevented the doctor from seeing the stone so the procedure had to be cancelled. Now i have a stint in so my kidney will drain and am waiting in hopes the gas will clear up. With all that said has anyone else had this problem and is the fix as simple as gas x or is some sort of diet change in order. If anyone has any suggestions i would certainly appreciate hearing them.

Hi Jenna, I will be having my surgery in the morning. I live not far from Siloam Springs, Bella Vista. So sorry that you are having problems with your weight, but it must also be hard to move and try to get settled. My daughter has also just had the sleeve bypass. Would love to be your friend and maybe help each other out. Hope you find someone to help support you and that you get back on track.

Topic: New to AR but not WLS newbie
Hello, My name is Jenna. I just moved to Arkansas from California back in August. I had my WLS May 07. I had started 265 got down to 130 and now back up to 195...Not happy about that. Long story. I am looking for support groups or friends in or near Siloam Springs. I thought maybe if I found somone who is also WlS patient maybe I could get back on track....I have no friends here yet and sure could use some..
