Misty, how are you doing?

Just fine. IV is out, squeezy leg things are off, had Breakfast and about to shower. I've already dealt with work email too. I can't imagine not being able to run by Monday.

I reported her for spreading lies. I'm worried about the people she is influencing, especially pre-ops. It's very dangerous IMHO.

And we thank you!

Good for you!!! I had just typed up this ' Big big difference between stating your opinion or discussing your personal experience and claiming expertise....it gets scary when non-experts claim to know it all and present their personal opinion as fact. Even if there are studies to support your claim, it's still opinion and in my opinion, unfair and dangerous to present it as anything else. Please be cautious when spewing your 'facts'. ' and when I tried to post it, it was locked. Opinion and fact...,are very different creatures.

Okay, I don't want to start a new thread for this, but I have two observations from the doctors today. Despite my 5 day stall everyone is pleased with my progress. I get to go back to CrossFit in two weeks.

Second, if you are planning to bring your wife into your physical to help remember various things, and they ask if you mind if a medical student comes in, and it turns out that you are needing a prostate check, AND your regular physician asks if you mind if "Megan" the medical student also cops a feel because it's so hard to find men who are willing to let female medical students check a prostate, you might want to believe your wife when she says, "I won't peek." I totally didn't, but I was shaking in embarrassed laughter for my poor DH.

I personally think that although certain people espouse total and utter factually incorrect lunacy on occasion; I think people making personal attacks and being down right rude and offensive is a more of a wider issue on this website....

And it appears to go on with total impunity....

I wonder if part of that is that there's a fair amount of sarcasm and teasing that go on all around. I agree with you, Revs…there are some people who seem to have trouble keeping a civil tone. Then again, tone is so subjective. Sigh. I don't know. I am a-skeered to join a lot of conversations right now.

I keep meaning to tell you my husband is an ER PA :)

God bless him...I'd strangle a patient, I know I would.

. Okay, true confessions? I actually did weigh 2 outfits this morning in prep for tomorrow.... I should probably be medicated.

Lol I always go in a "light outfit"...and I will be wearing my flip flops instead of my big honkin tennis shoes.

      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!
