Doc put me on high dose of Iron last week. Since then I can't sit still. So I'm looking for stuff to do. Still can't bend all the way over. I'm now an expert at picking things up with my toes and keeping a pair of long tongs handy! How ya doin?

Was it routine blood panel that showed low Iron? I'm glad you got your energy back. Sometimes healing is so textbook. When the doc says 6 weeks, it's like 6 weeks to the day and I'm all good. Lol. Power of suggestion? Mind over matter? Probably just biology of healing.

I am great other than no poop :( I'm taking some heavy duty laxatives and still nothing. Drinking a lot. Eating Fiber. Doing all the things I'm supposed to. It'll happen I'm just getting uncomfortable and bloated. I'm going for a walk while the sun is here. Maybe that will help!

Sounds like it worked fast! I'm fighting the Constipation monster so thinking about taking iron makes me hurt :)

It's going to sound gross, but I ate some greasy food. It helped me go and made it come out easier!

Went into my job yesterday to turn in my RTW slip, I was floating on air at all the compliments I got! All my Black friends wanted to know "what happened to your ass!" Love it! It was great to see my work friends! Can't wait to get my boobs done!

Got my preliminary hospital bill Fri. $54,000 I wonder if they jack up the bill because you have ins. I haven't got the PS bill or the Anesthesiologist bill!

Lol. Yes, booties are very important to us. I've unfortunately never had much of one, kind of an apple shape. If I get plastics when I'm done, I buying a new butt, too (Brazilian butt lift, not implants). I live in Iowa, though, so I might have to go to Atlanta or Chicago to get the silhouette that I want. ;) Anyway, congrats to you. The pics are very inspirational.

I was off 6 weeks, I was only suppose to be off for 3, but I had all those issues. I work in the cash office at Walmart. I just never realized how much twisting and turning and reaching I do. Still can't pick up heavy stuff off the floor yet. Maybe in another month or so, I don't want to take the chance of reopening my stitches again, It's almost healed up.

Going back to work is a sudden spike in movement. From the getting ready, in/out of transportation, walking, the actual work....so much more energy out. Hope it's your Friday and you get to rest up :)

      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!
