16 Days Post Op Today - 1St Post!



Recommended Posts

Hi,

I'm 16 days post op and this is my first post here. You can call me piper I'm scootish ;)

I've lurked the forums here pre op looking for answers to questions but I've nenver posted, I'm kind of shy like that I recon. I live in Oregon but I'm from California originally. I wish I had the guts to sit in front of a web cam and pour my heart like so many people I've watched over the last two years on youtube but I think I'm to private of a person (and a big chicken too!). Sadly for myself, I give those people a big Huzzah because they've helped me so much in decision making process of what was the best course of action.

I lost a total of 108 Pre-op because I fired my first surgeon after I lost his required 60 lbs. Believe me, I made the right decision. He quit the practice 6 weeks later and I ended with a most amazing surgon (see my profile) and I couldn't be happier with everything she's done from A to Z. She required me to loose 40 lbs but I passed my mark a bit. I had some minor complications with my surgery, I had a Hiatal hernia fixed which is a common occurrence from what I understand and they found a tumor in my stomach. The tumor tested "low risk" with a very low probability of cancer. I'm glad I dodged that bullet!

I DID IT!

Welcome, you Scottish, Californian who uses the words "recon" and "Huzzah" all in one post! :P

Congrats on the pre-surgery loss and good luck, moving forward!

Heh, well I don't spell so well apairently because it's spelled Reckon :o Thanks for the Welcome Arcusx

I grew up just north of you about 30 miles, I spent a lot of time in my youth running around RIverside. That VST addiction wouldn't have anything to do with a company called Stienberg would it?

      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!
