Topic: RE: The Next Level Support group at St Johns
Ok..here goes. I had lost 140 lbs...and had not gained, only lost weight up to two months ago. I have now put on 25 lbs in two months..and I am panicking. My eating habits were under control for months and months..and in the last 8 weeks I am ravenous. It seems I can eat anything..and as much of anything..as I want to . I did the 5 day pouch test but never felt full..
SO now..I am ready to get back on track. I am at 160. My goal weight is 130. I would like to lose some of what I have picked up but also keep some of it and tone and muscle up! I will use this blog to be accountable for what I am putting in my mouth.
So...today ...Im back at it. Going to my first group support meeting tonight. Wish me luck!
Then I went and no go...noone there :( What time does your group meet on the 19th?

Topic: WHATS HAPPENING TUESDAY
wow did you all get that wind last night. I had just gotten home from work and was sitting here at my computer when i started hearing this loud roar.....i went to the back door to open it and see what in the world and i couldnt get the door open....too much suction on it . scared me so i went into the bedroom where Joe was and told him he needed to get up and get in the closet with me i think...meanwhile the roaring kept getting louder and louder... was horrible. i know it was a tornado but it was up high....the tops of the trees were bending but that was all the ground level didnt see much wind at all. finally it went over and it started raining but that was really weird ....then the temp droped about 15 degrees right after that...from 65 down to 50....
well im off today and tomorrow , have to use one of my off days to go to town and get groceries. and feed for the animals. so guess i had better get ready for the day...
still sitting around in my jammies.
so better get ready to go I think Joe is ready and i dont think i should go to town looking like i do lol

Hi Stacy,
There was supposed to be a meeting last night, I am not sure what happened. You can call Katie Waldron at Dr Edward's office 820-3800. She is the social worker and keeps up with the groups. The regular Group meets the second Monday of every month in the surgery center, 4th floor. It is a large group with a specific topic each month.
The Circle of Friends is the group Jan is talking about and it is a great, supportive group that meets at the library center.
I hope you will try them both. I love them! Feel free to ask for help here as well, We are all here for you!

Topic: Scope yesterday - question regarding WLS
Had my scope yesterday. I do have a hiatal hernia. Dr. Scott said he would repair/fix at surgery (vertical sleeve). Paperwork sent to insurance on 18th. Now just waiting. Question: Will have a hiatal hernia make the surgery/recooperation any more difficult than without one? Thanks to all

Topic: The Next Level Support group at St Johns
Hey all. I am trying to get back to basics and was really looking forward to finding a support group in the Springfield area. I WAS Uber excited to go to The Next Level support group last night and there was noone there ;(. I checked and rechecked the location and date...and it was right. Can anyone give me any info on post surgical support groups in Springfield? I am really losing my way here.
Thanks!
Thanks!
