IF YOU HAVE NOTHING NICE TO SAY...THEN DON'T SAY IT.



Recommended Posts

I can say I my very first post on here was responded by someone very aggressive and mean. She called me a liar about having my surgery and that no dr would do my revision in same surgery as removing my band and that they couldn't have nicked my spleen because it isn't near my stomach (to sum it up). She then started a new thread with the caption I call BS on this and a link to my story. I even posted operative pictures to prove I wasn't telling a lie. I couldn't believe her response to my story and it made my first experience here upsetting but to be fair she did apologize later. Just unnecessary for someone to deal with that while trying to heal and deal with the emotional changes after surgery. I have also had some very kind people since then so just like anything take it for what it's worth and move on.

Hey pdx I was told to GO TO HELL a couple of days ago (along with a few other choice words)

Do you think I misinterpreted it??

Just no purpose in that kind of nonsense. I do have the 9 scars to prove it really happened and the massive medical bills... Lol

Wow.. That's horrible! In a case like that I most likely wouldn't hold my tongue

I responded strongly but not cursing and nonsense. I got an email for engaging in it from the site administrator. A little slap on the hand I guess.

It is so. I wasn't happy when I got that message but life goes on. No I didn't say anything out of line but I guess I responded and I shouldn't have. I also used sarcasm :)

It sounds like u handled it well.. All I know is I appreciate reading everyone's experiences , i usually just focus on what will help me or someone else..I'm having my surgery in 2 weeks and it is 100% easier for me thanks to this group..

      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!
