Patience: n. A minor form of dispair, disguised as a virtue



Recommended Posts

PCP finally got labs and referral to surgeon today...I asked the coordinator to let me know when she submits to insurance.

Of course my mom now wants all of us to come for Easter (the 31st) which is a 14hr drive for us with all the stops we have to make. So maybe its best to have it in April.

Oh yeah... Ouch. That would be a very long ride, and a dangerous one considering the heightened risk of blood clots after surgery! Best to go for April... Like make her come back with you so you can go as soon as you can get home... But April! ;)

Yes and I'm the long distance driver in our family! My hubs rarely does any of the driving!

We drive back and forth from Phoenix to San Diego at least once every month or two to visit my family (that's how we'll go for my surgery in fact and just drop the girls off with my parents and sister). I tend to go a lot with just the girls when the hubby works 4 days straight, so I know how a lot of driving can take a toll on your body and that's less than half your drive time!! Best to be safe for sure.

      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!
