jhawaiianhny, I was in Maui a few weeks ago for our ten anniversary! I too am Nov 1! I packed lip balm, toiletries, charger, slippers, comfortable clothes to go home in and gasx strips should they let me have them( everyone was recommending me pack some)

Looks like Nov for me too. Waiting the "ok" from my insurance. Because of all my co-morbidities, general consensus is that I'll be approved.

I'm going in tomorrow!!! Happy Halloween!

My surgery was moved up to the 21st. Must loose the weight by the 15th of nov that's my pre op. I don't have a "liquid diet" but I've been doing a modified version of a VLCD to loose the last 10+ pounds. Just looked it up on line and I've lost 7.6 lbs in 4 days. While working in Er. So it's possible. Not nice but possible. Good luck everyone. I have to loose 3.3 more then keep it off till the 15 and on the 21st.

      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'. ???

        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!
