Scouts and work -- wow is right! Hope you have an easy Tuesday and no evening meetings. Take good care of yourself this week. Maybe some one can take the kids out for supper and you can put your feet up.

I'm so glad your first day back went well! It is crazy how life doesn't stop even when we do! Glad you were able to jump right back in :)

How many days after surgery did you wait to go back to work?

We are super short handed at work rt now and the timing of my surgery was not ideal, but it was planned b4 unseen circumstances occurred. It was a kind of now or never thing for me b/c if I didn't have it last week or this week it would have been months b/c I'm also in school and we have presentations and papers that are due and I have to be in tip top shape for those!

Anyways, I am trying to figure out when to go back. I have taken a week, but hope to not need it all.

Well...I do not have kids if my own...???? But I have 15 4th, 5th and 6th grade Girl Scouts and 40 1st - 5th grade Cub Scouts!! And each one is just as AWESOME as the other!!! So, it was OK. My girls were all head strong for cookie sales and money plans and the boys...well, lets just say...they were CrAzY little boys with a TON of energy lady night. Love Then ALL!!

Hey BT!! That was the same with me!! We are severely short handed and I had used a HUGE PORTION of my off time for the PRE appointments getting ready for the surgery!! So, I had my surgery on a Wednesday morning and went back to work the following Monday. That gave me 5 days w/ the surgery day. However, I have a desk job so I wasn't standing for long periods. But, the days I was off...I RESTED!! I walked to take care of the gas stuff and the lung stuff...but NOTHING else...my TV Remote, Kindle and iPhone were all but attached to me!! GOOD LUCK!!

      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!
