How are you feeling now? Better I hope?



Still in pain but trying as the days pass by and thanks to everyone who came to my defense it amazing that there are people who rather pass judgement then say a kindly word

How did you do getting back to work? Are you feeling better and able to work a full day yet? My Dr. told me recovery could take 4-6 weeks but depending how I feel I can go back at 2-3 weeks if I am up to it. I have a total desk job so I'm keeping my options open. I submitted for 6 weeks on FMLA and applied for short term disability and will take it one day at a time. I hope you are feeling good now.

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

        Have a great Wednesday too! Sorry you're hungry all the time, I'm pretty much the same..and I'm sick of eating the same food all the time.

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
