Hi everyone,

Well I had the biggest scare of my life yesterday! I was rushed to the hospital because I couldn't breath and I was vomitting over and over uncontrollably. What happend was I had a super bad reaction to a bug bomb I set off in my house.I set off the bombs in the house and me, the hubby, and the dogs went to the dog park for a few hours while the bombs were going off. When we got home, I immediately went to open all windows and doors to air out the house. I followed the directions and I've done this before. As I was opening windows, all of a sudden my throat closed. I went to the sink to drink some Water and all of a sudden I started vommitting and was gasping for air. My husband came in the house in just enough time and pulled me outside. I couldn't breath and kept throwing up. My husband called 911 and I was taken to the ER.

I got better once I was taken outside the house. By the time I got to the ER, I was more stable. The doc at first said I had a mini anaphilactic shock, then later he said I am hyper-sensitive to the bug bombs.I am okay now. But what gets me is that I've dealt with insecticides and bug bombs before and never had this reaction.

Anyhow. Now I am concerned that I may have a bad reaction from the anestesia. Does anyone know what type of anastesia Dr. A uses? I think I need to look into this. My surgery is in three weeks!

Have you had surgery before?

I don't think the reaction to a bug bomb is really indicative of anything, but you should tell them.

Your lucky it didn't kill you....it is nasty stuff.

WOW how scary - glad your husband was there and able to call 911. Also glad you are okay now.

WASa will have the answer to your question about the anesthesia that Dr. A uses ... I know he uses general anesthesia as well as a spinal block so that they don't have to use as much general anesthesia - at least that is my understanding of the reason. I'd never had surgery or been put under so I was quite hesitant, but I came through it with flying colors. Good luck to you.

Also, you can always email Renee or Nina and ask them.

I was put under when my wisdom teeth were pulled, but that's it.

And you are very right, I am lucky it wasn't worse because it could have been.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!

      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.
