Shortness Of Breath?



Recommended Posts

Well I am still here. They are saying something about my bodies acids or something is out of whack. Not really sure. I have a tumor on my pituitary gland and they think it may have something to do with that and want to talk to a neurologist and or endocrinologist. I take meds for it to shrink it. Said I might go home tomorrow. This is bull crap but for the best!

Stephanie I sure hope they figure this out. I know you hate being there but I am so glad you went. I was afraid it was a pulmonary embolism to be truthful. They had just covered that in my pre op class and it sounded like they described.

Praying they figure it out and you get back on the road to recovery.

Stay in touch. Amazing how much we can worry about each other.

I am still here and they are still not sure what it is. I asked the doctor who just talked to me to write it down for me. I feel good. I am pretty sure she said my acid levels are high. And they don't know why. I will get you guys better info soon!

      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!
