I second the vote for Arlington (but that is just me being selfish, since I live in Arlington...)

I am moving a message from the local support board here, so as to cast a wider net. Some of us were hoping to organize a local meet-up. If you are from around DC and would be interested in participating, chime in! The more the merrier!!

Let's take a poll for dates: are weekends better for people? A Saturday vs. A Sunday? lunch vs. dinner?

My vote is a Saturday afternoon. How about April 30 or May 14? That gives people time to plan...

As for a place: Lebanese Taverna has small plates packed with Protein... Great food choices for us! There is one at Pentagon Row.

What do you all think? I am just tossing out ideas, hoping to get the ball rolling.

Hi, I am definitely interested in meeting up with some fellow sleevers in the DC metro area. I vote for May 14. Looking forward to it!

I haven't been on the site long and still don't know many people here but I'm down depending on when it is. I am located in Rockville, MD, but I'm willing to drive wherever

      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!
