Oh gosh so I can't take anytime off of work until September 26th. Pre op testing is 8/14. My little heart got broken because I really thought we were going to get this done at the last week of August. Mantra--it will be okay!

Mslady depending on your state and your company you may be able to file for medical leave from your job and file for state disability . Don't know what state your in you may want to check with your HR Dept and state.

We had a pool put in last year and the family decided to have a stay-cation this year so I could have surgery and will make it up next year and then put away as much money as we could.

Good luck you will be alright

I would definatley look into FMLA it's s leave from work which protects your job and they must maintain ur same level of health insurance

Oh yeah I'm definitely filing FMLA. It's a new job and we had my permanency date wrong. A month off. So before my manager could sign off I had to meet the date requirement which is Sept 26. More time for me to save money and whatnot! :) plus it will be getting cooler and I'm sure the areas will heal better if I'm not in a constant sweat lol!

I love your attitude. You have to love yourself no matter what you look like. I think your going to do great because you have a positive outlook on life. I wish you the best.

I'm feeling super emotional today. I am ready for surgery. Knowing that I have to wait till at least the end of Sept is irritating. I haven't been able to walk or workout in days because my back hurts and I'm so sleepy all the time. I struggle all day to stay awake and it depresses me. The Dr. says it is between my hormone levels and possible sleep apnea. For 9 months we haven't been able to get it under control. I feel like I'm a disappointment to my friends and family bc I could care less about leaving my apt. When I do I sweat non stop. I'm 28 and pissed off at myself for getting this way. I know I am making a great choice with surgery and am putting all my worthwhile energy into makin my life better. Again I'm getting irritable waiting. Oh and on top of it all I've been having irritable bowel symptoms which I haven't had in about 2 years. Don't get me wrong though, even in my darkest hours I love the fact that my life is going to be a good one.

All I can say for today though is, Thank God for cuddly puppies and dreams of one day having cuddly babies.

      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!
