I have completed my 6 months worth of nutrition appointments but missed my goal by 3 lbs so I have an appointment for Jan 22, 2013 for my last and final weigh in. Then my paper work can be submitted for approval :) I have one more seminar to attend at Holy Cross hospital. Good Luck to everyone :)

Glad they located it.... So happy that you have a pre-op appointment, one step closer! What is GBMC? I wish I could go somewhere other than holy cross because of the waiting list!!!

GBMC is Greater Baltimore Medical Center in Towson. I had to option of GBMC, St Agnes, or Johns Hopkins, but I went to the nutritionist in Woodlawn.

Hello. I have completed my 6 month nutrition appts in July. I have attended two information sessions with Dr. Cantor at Holy Cross Hospital. And I met with him back in October, 2012, he submiitted my name on the list for surgery.and have picked up all my prescriptions he ordered for me and now waiting for a date. There is a long wait for Dr. Cantor. I was told it would be a 5 to 6 month wait. So I'm guessing I will get a date around March or April hopefully.

      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.

        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!
