I changed my pic to one of me and my BF to honor how amazing he was this past week. I had revision surgery on Monday and without his help, it would have been so much more difficult. We are long distance now and as soon as I mentioned the revision he said he was coming up from Florida.

I never knew he had such a fear of hospitals and still really did not get it until my sis told me how freaked out he was at times during and after my surgery. He is such a rock in a crisis that this really blew me away.

Our past is a very loooong and rocky one. During the time apart there has been lots of therapy, time and a failed marriage (his) and we have reunited more mature and ready for this. He told me last night that he really was afraid of losing me on the table. I was so taken aback by this.

He was amazing. He tries to understand the addiction I have with food and never criticizes and has been my #1 cheering section all along. We were not together when I did 1st surgery, but was supportive.

I see so many people on here who have some very negative SO experiences, that I know I am that I am lucky to have him.

We truly have been through the "Thick" and "Thin".

      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.

      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!
