July 1st'ers -- Only One More Week To Go!



Recommended Posts

I have my final surgeon's appointment in two hours--first, I need to go to my bank and find out if they'll let me refinance my house as part of my divorce proceedings, to get my ex off of the deed so I can own the home free and clear, or if they'll deny me and I'll have to sell my kids' childhood home. Meh.

The good news is that in two hours I'll be at the doctor's office, focusing on positive changes for ME!

I had my pre-op appointment at the hospital today. It went smoothly other than having 2 kids in tow and the 3 year old spilling her Water on the chair in the exam room. Luckily, the nurse has a 16 year old and a 7 month old, so she understood. There is one new thing I'm nervous about. They gave me a special soap to wash with 3 times prior to the surgery to make sure my skin is as clean as possible. However, I have three boils where my waistband and bra are that become inflamed with the heat. The nurse told me to call the doctor to make sure they wouldn't be an issue. I spoke to the nurse at the doctor's office and he said to call back tomorrow to tell him how they are. 2 have drained and will be healed by Monday, but I have one that may not have fully healed by then. Fingers crossed that it won't be an issue that causes a delay - I've been on the liquid diet since the Monday after Father's day and my niece is flying in on Friday to take care of my 3 year old (the older two will be at overnight camp all next week, which is why I scheduled it for the 1st).

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!

      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.
