Having some issues



Recommended Posts

To keep the rash down under your belly and / or under your breasts, cut strips of old clean tshirts and after you put on your lotion or powder, whichever you get, place one strip on top of the medication between your belly or breasts and skin below to act as a barrier between skin to skin contact. Good thing about using old tshirts is they are washable and reusable and will help a lot!

If it is not a fungal infection, I use Desitin or any other baby heat rash ointment, works like a charm. Hope it helps!

I used to get the same rash...I would take a shower and let it air dry with a fan..then put on calamine lotion and let it air dry....the next day the rash would be gone. I have lost 80 pounds in 4 months and no longer get the rash or have the back problems I used to. Best of luck to you and keep us posted.

      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.

      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!
