Well I just got off the phone w/Penni & she still has her sence of humor intact!!!LOL SHe is home & her DH is taking great care of her. Her upper GI went well after surgery but was not without discomfort. She said she'd be back on the boards in a day or two & that she looks forward to sleeping in her own bed tonight. She said she is also losing a few pounds b/c she is only on liquids & than mushies over the next week or so while she heals. She sends love to all.

HEAL UP FAST & TAKE THINGS SLOW PENNI WE LOVE YOU GIRLIE!!!!!!

You know the thing about this board is it sure is addictive. I was going to not post till tomorrow but I was drawn in my drug induced state to come and post. LOL!!

I love Dr. Billy. I think someone on her was curious if he was married. I gather he isn't but is divorced. He has two kids for sure. This puts him in a whole new light for me. LOL!!!

I will post details of the surgery and what lead me to have it so fast in a day or two. I have to gather my thoughts. It all seems like a blur now.

I am home and doing really well. I got my pain meds filled (dear sweet John did that for me).

I think I have lost 10 lbs in poop so far. LOL!!!

Billy used one of my old scars from my tubal years ago. He made a point of using my old scars instead of making new ones. He also kept the band. I guess he is going to send it to Inamed for all the good it will do. At least he kept it though.

The upper GI the next morning after surgery was NOT fun. But necessary to rule out any perforation so I could drink my Clear Liquids. MMM MMM GOOD!!

Long ordeal but it is done now and I can get back on the road to recovery. Gotta get my strength built back up for Christmas and my 3 yr old grandson.

HUGS to you all. I just love you guys.

      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!
