5 weeks out and doing great!

Hello All;

I don't post much but I do read many of the posting out there. However, I am in my 5th week from the VGS surgery. I am down to  261.5 and counting! Feeling great excepts smells; certain smells bother me and I feel the need to loose my lunch.

I do have a question for anyone who can answer. Are there any support groups in the Baltimore City or County area I can join? I am looking for people I can connect with who can help me along this journey.

I will keep you all posted. Everyone keep up the good work one thing I have realized this WLS is for  a LIFETIME!

Thank you!

Congrats, Adrienne!!!  Glad to hear it's going well!!  The smells were an issue for me, too, as they are for a lot of RNY folks.  Even now, certain smells just.....smell!!!

Did you check with your surgeon to see if they have a support group?

There's the Crofton group, Kelly W. usually posts about that, and tonight is the first Harford County meeting run by Nicole. 

Of course, we're here, too, if you need anything.

Good luck,

Tia

Adrienne,

I don't have an answer about the support groups but wanted to say Congrats on your sugery and weight loss thus far...welcome to the Maryland Board!

Heather

Thank you so much for the support!! I realize the support makes the difference!

Thank you again~Adrienne

Yes, I want to add my Congrats as well. Besides the groups already mentioned, have you checked to see if there is one either at the hospital where you had the surgery and/or at the hospital closest to you (if different)? Most of the hospitals have WLS support groups.

Hello congratulations I dont know as much as alot of people here but they are good people and you came to the right place. I only know there is a group in Crofton. I have not had surgery yet but would eventually like to do so...

When I first read this, I thought it said you lost 261lbs in 5 weeks.  

Congrats on the weight loss so far!! Keep up the good work.

Depending on where you are in Baltimore, St. Agnes holds a couple each month.  But if you need intensive therapy - this website can help you.  Welcome and congratulations!

Thank you again. Sinai has an excellent

support group but my schedule is so crazy

(full time college student and family). It

does not always allow me to make the

meetings. I will try St. Agnes!

Thank you again!

( I gotta get one of those wls ticker things!)
