lighter02, that link is not a good one, do you have the correct one? ~Mandy

Mandy, it looks like she might have spelled arrangements incorrectly. Maybe try www.ediblearrangements.com ???

Yup, that's it. Looks super yummy. Those arrangements are beautiful! Looks like someone could make their own basket just like it, but imagine the work...all that cutting!!!! They made my mouth Water, though!

My team was great to me too....however, as self pay.............$16,000 later, I would think that a note would suffice.

Thanks Guys, You've offered some great suggestions.

Going with the crafty theme, I've found a cross stitch project that if there is time, I might try. That may have to wait until later. It says something like, Nothing tastes as good as being thin feels. I haven't gotten to the "thin" feeling yet, but I think it will be something to remind all the weight loss patients that we're getting there. I thought it might be a good thing to put in the room where we get weighed. :biggrin1:

Since it is unlikely that I will be able to finish it in time for my anniversary, I will probably use some of your great ideas.

Thanks so much, Sylvia

The week after our son was born, we sent our obstetrician's office a gift basket of lollies, coffee, Cookies etc. At our 6-week visit, we took a personal thank you note we had made, that included a little pic of our dear boy. This got put on their "family" wall.

I agree that if you send a gift, it should be addressed to the whole office. A personal note with before and after pics would be just as much appreciated. My surgeon's office doesn't have these on public display (they should!!!), but I am sure they must recieve them, and maybe they have them on a staff notice board somewhere...

I know that these guys are just doing their jobs (for which they are well paid LOL!), but I think that it's nice to recognise the extra efforts they put in (eg. the weekend and late night calls, or the hours spent over their lives educating, learning and refining their skills), particularly when the results of their work are so life-changing.

      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!
