Relief!!!



Recommended Posts

:faint: OKAY!!! Nevermind that I almost passed out today while the nurse was trying to find my port...I finally have RELIEF!!!

It took her 3 times to get the needle into the port! It kept moving on her and it was making me panic and then I broke out into cold sweats, moaning like a woman in labor!:) (thank god I was the only pt there!! :) ) I was moaning because I didn't want to faint on them. I hate being out of control like that and it really upset me that it happend but the nurse was really great about it and hugged me afterwards! My husband was in the waiting area and heard me and knew that I was having a panic attack and thought "Oh Boy!". But I drank some Water and cooled off and everything was fine after that. The nurse told me that as you loose weight the fat around the port goes away and isn't there to keep it in place so then it is able to turn. Oh well! And she took my whole fill out for me and I was able to actually eat lunch today without pain. And I get to go to Chicago, see Oprah, and have a good time with my mom and mother-in-law and not be in pain! But, until I get another fill when I get back from Chicago I have to be careful and mindful of what I eat, but I am doing that now so it should be ok. Just glad it's done! :clap2:

I had a fill done on 01-26-06 and since then I haven't been able to eat anything solid without it hurting and feeling like I swallowed a golf ball!!! Not even eggs girl!!! :) And then with me going to Chicago on the 27th and seeing Oprah, I didn't want to be miserable! I wanted to be able to enjoy myself. :hungry: Eat and it not get stuck!!! That's all, no other problems! I will get a fill when I get back.

How have you been?

I need a fill bad. I go next Thursday!!! Can't wait. I was able to eat way too much the past couple of nights, so I am excited about my fill.

I hope you get some cool stuff at the show!!! Can't wait to hear about it.

I am glad you got an unfill, that must have really sucked! Did you lose any weight while you were miserable?

Yes I did! I actually lost 5lbs...felt miserable but lost it! Couldn't eat anything solid like fish, beef or chicken so I have to be careful now that I can so I don't gain it back and then some!

Is this your first fill?

I think I am going to call Dr. Spivak's office and go ahead and schedule my fill. I should have done it while I was there but I didn't...duh. :) The restriction just killed me! It was so bad.

I hope your next fill helps out!!! :biggrin1:

      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!
