Recommended Posts

I just registered - I am coming alone. I won't be banded until January, so I'm really hoping to learn a lot!

Will the clothing be exchange only or will it be like a garage sale where they might be purchased? I don't think I am driving so no extra baggage.

Any news on how the clothing exchange will work - I will try to bring some on hangers - but I would love to know what to expect - might determine how many clothes I bring. Will it be like a garage sale - you can buy the items cheap, will it be - you bring and donate all yours and then take what items you want. Is there a limit?

Here's the hotel info from an earlier post -

Wyndham DFW Airport North

4441 W. John Carpenter Freeway

Irving, Texas 75063

Can't wait! Wish I were already banded so I'd have something to contribute to the clothing exchange. :thumbdown:

I am definately going too. Wonder if we are supposed to get a confirmation on our sign up for the conference? Guess I could email Coachcher. I am looking forward to this as well.

The Clothing exchange will be available for everyone who wants to participate. No purchasing of the clothes will take place.

Whatever we have left over I will donate to a local women's shelter here in the DFW area.

Everyone who has signed up is on the list. All you need to do is go the registeration table to pick up your name tags.

I am so excited and looking forward to meeting everyone.

You don't have to be banded to contribute to the clothing exchange. Bring what you don't think you will be wearing much longer and pick up some smaller sizes so you will be prepared once you start losing weight.

      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!
