I'm Getting Scared!!



Recommended Posts

Hey everyone! My surgery date is the 17th. I'm starting to get opinions from people that I may get infections and how people do get infections. This is whats on my mind now lol. If something like that happens who pays for that?

You shouldn't concern yourself with infection.

Infections don't happen often but they do happen. About a century ago they discovered penicillin and other anti-biotics that makes infections go away when they do happen.

My surgury is now officially one week away; and if I get a morning spot it'll will be done by now! Re infections, sure they could happen but will they? If someone is going out of their way to stess you out tell them to mind their own business.

When my admin assistant was having her wisdom teeth out I did'nt say a word, even though I personally had a horrible time with it. It was'nt until she said she'd planned to be in the next day (they were impacted); that I told her that mine had been as well and I needed 3-4 days to recover. I told her from my own experiences I was not planning she would be at work. I did not want her to rush comming back when she was not ready. She was out for 5 business days which she had not planned on at all.

I dont know if this is normal or not but my doctor did 2 IV anti-biotics yesterday while in the hospital. I also have a history of MRSA infections so I talked to her about this and she sent me home with a script for antibiotics as well.

      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.

      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!
