East Coast Bash Recap & Count



Recommended Posts

Hey guys, Just wanted to remind everyone of the East Coast Bash.

It is the weekend of Sept 23, 24, 25.

Some of us are arriving on the 22nd and leaving on the 26th. I am staying at the Wyndham Garden Hotel by Laguardia. So taxi's for me everywhere.

Thursday, the 22nd I will arrive in the afternoon and would be up to meeting someone for dinner possibly.

Friday, the 23rd we had discussed a dinner to meet and greet everyone. Has anyone decided on a place or time?

Saturday, the 24th is the Walk from Obesity 5K along Riverside Park. If you are interested in participating then here is the link.

Manhattan, NY - The American Society for Bariatric Surgery - Walk From Obesity - Sept. 24, 2005

Sunday, the 25th is a free day or travel day for some. I plan on going to some museums or just walking the streets of New York and playing sight-seer. Anyone wanna go with?

I think NJCHICK mentioned something about if it was gonna be in Joisey then she would be there. Well right now there are NO REAL plans. So it could be anywhere in the NJ/NY area at this point. LOL!!!

So peoples speak what would you like to do? Any suggestions?

I would love to attend but I will be away til Sept.27/28. The following weekend would be perfect for me. Has the date been confirmed? I don't mind any east coast location. It's the date that is more important. I know it's difficult to accommodate all so I'll just keep watching to see the date and location.

Have a great time!!!!

      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!
