Hello everyone,

I had my IVC filter putting in today through my groining area. I am a little sore but other wise okay. I do have to have an ice pack on for it. I can take the dressing off tomorrow a shower but i will have to cover it back up after the area is cleaned. TUESDAY the 17th of JULY is the big day and I have big nerves too. I had nerves today but I guess they took that away. It is amazing how you wake up and you do not know anything its almost weird. I woke up just fine with no problem and I am just waiting til next week. Is there anything I need to be doing.

I'm a little confused. You had the surgery already? When?

No I had a IVC filter put before surgery on the 17th to catch any blood clots that may develop. I have to be at the hospital @ 5:30 on Tuesday July 17th.

      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!
