Vegas would be AWESOME because it's the cheapest place to go as far as accomodations and travel!!! Let's do it!!!!!!!!!!

Gotta say, never been to Vegas myself, and it IS pretty cheap for the most part.

Wondering if this is a "Gathering" for 2007 or 2008? I love the idea of Vegas as it's probally the most affordable place for those of us on a budget.

I voted Vegas just because I love it :)

But it is a good place for gatherings because most major airports/airlines have flights there, which makes prices competitive, and you can usually find a good "mix" of different priced hotel rooms in a relatively small area.

With all this talk, would you like a some help planning this?

If so, let me know, I'll make some calls and help organize.

I vote for Chicago, because it is home

Southern CA because I have never been.

Las Vegas because it is least expensive.

I vote for Vegas, easy airfare and hotels for all plus it's cheaper.

I don't have little ones at home, so what's better.....going during school or when it's out? Mom's?

Another thought would be to do our get together the same time the American Bariatric Surgeons do their annual confrence in June. It might be easier to get sponsers then. IF its somewhere warm I suggest it takes place in the winter. I'm form Minnesota- I need a winter break!

That's a great idea. I have heard of other gatherings where they have a lot of bariatric speakers, giving nutrtion talks, etc.

      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!
