Dr Visits- did you know there are no fat Pow?



Recommended Posts

No doubt. What a hag. I would have said I may be fat but you are a shitty nurse.

Oh my, I really feel for you. I can imagine all sorts of zingers to say to her (hindsight is so much fun.) how about, "actually, I'm leaving for North Korea right after surgery, how did you know?" Or, "I am a POW, I was held captive in Afghanistan (no offense to real POWs). Or, "Really? If I don't put food in my mouth I won't be fat? How does that work, really I never knew that!"

I find it really interesting that the most hurtful comments about my weight have been made by the medical profession, as if they feel its their duty to shock you into losing it. Many have no empathy and I would love to put them in my shoes!

We don't all feel that way. I would never do that to a patient. Like I said tyere are some nasty nurses out there and because nobody reports them we never can get rid of them. So every time report them.

I have to say having worked in the medical profession and many years in a Hospital most people are not rude, they are in the healthcare profession to help others. But there are some people who are hard and calous and they do get away with murder with their words that cut like a two edge sword.

      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.

      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.
