Well how is it over there?

ts actually quite lovely. Everyone there is super nice and sweet - and not that you're really gonna be interested but some of the ladies might be - there's male eye candy EVERYWHERE!

Lupita the iv nurse is great - she's small enough to fit in your pocket - almost literally -I have horrendus veins because of all the IV's I had to have for my other medical issues - she did great. Tried one arm it wasn't a go - got the other arm right away - I'm the only person she had to stick more than once.

Everything is clean and proper clean practices are used. Itt can be a little noisy at times, but that happens anywhere. My husband was treated (as were the rest of us) like members of the family.

We stopped by the recovery house to drop people off and its fantastic - we chose to stay at the hotel which is quite lovely - hubby says the food is amazing and they've got popsicles for me and broth too :) Can't wait till I can have some broth :)

I never felt uneasy or concerned about anything. I may not work in the medical field, but my sister is a nurse, my step mother is a hosptail department administrator - I was an EMT2 and did distaster relief. Plenty of medical experience being around it enough and I was completely satisfied.

went back this evening for a quick checkup - got my antibiotics and pain meds for the night - and the blue goo to drink in the morning. They take out my iv thingy, my drain and do my xray tomorrow. Then I go home. Its been quite a great trip actually - the whole staff is so delightful.

      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!
