I already asked one of the doctors if I could take Ambien the night before surgery! Thank goodness the answer was a yes.

 

good luck! Keep us posted.

I am at the hotel and chicken broth has been ordered. BTW, you can't buy Water at the San Diego hotel near the baggage area. I was thirsty on my drive, wishing I had bought another bottle at LAX.

Sometimes they change... I wasn't aware that they don't want you discussing the price.

 

Shhhhhhhh. It's super top secret! ;-)

OK I have a dental check (no one told me about that) to make sure I could chew my food sufficiently. Blood has been drawn and I am waiting for the NUT, oh and paperwork is complete. I am going to get my teeth cleaned and my chip fixed while I am here. I never find time for the dentist at home.

The new me is starting!

this is the first I've heard of the dental check! How bizarre. I'm 100% covered for dental, but always have to cancel due to travel. Hmmmm. something to think about.

Same here it has been 4 years since I saw the Dentist CPA took advantage of what scares me the most:dental work, also getting blood drawn not a fan e fan

 

But, they did well

Question!! I have never been on a airplane. So do you have to pay for 2 seats for heavy people??

 

I called american airlines cuz me and my sister are getting sleeved and they said that if you can sit in ur seat and br able to put the arm rest down you shouldnt have a problem and that the seatbelt is like 47 in. but most likely she will have to use the seatbelt extender which btw ask for when u are walking in to the plane and the attendant will get for you. But if u cant fit then unless you are with someone else that doesnt mind u are tight in the seat then u need to purchase an extra seat. They also said that if you purchase it and there are extra seats then they will refund the ticket. But this is just american, i had to call m2 different airlines to get info due to me, my mom, and my sister whos much bigger then i going. So good luck to u all!!!!!

So more updates. I was really

Lay impressed with how time the nurse took finding the vein for the lV. My hands were super cold so she made hot Water with a rubber glove did some other tricks, and my vein appeared.

 

So far no nausea, a little gas pain - nothing bad, was a bit foggy on my initial walks but all is really good.

 

Excellent care by all

      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!
