Surgery is tomorrow morning at 8:00. They said I have to be there at 6:00 a.m., which seems just silly to me.

probably to get your happy meds on :cursing:

Seriously! Wait, or pecan...

I was offered the option of COBRA in Tennessee; I would think/hope it would be offered everywhere! I was going to say unless the company has to help pay for it but as much as I paid for mine, I wouldn't think my old company was helping!!! :thumbup:

But Tap, won't you miss shoveling snow? :cursing:

Yanno, Missy, I've never known anyone that loved pumpkin stuff and now I know 2 (you and a gf at work).

Diva - I thought about you this morning. The folks on the radio this morning were talking about how employees at some company were being asked to take a one-week vacation without pay. :tongue:

Yep that's us here CA State Workers. We have to take 2 furlough days per month (most of us will do First and Third Friday of the month, but since I work at Cal-Fire we might eventually get to choose our two days as some of us already are allowed this).

That is a 10% pay cut for all of us. However the Governator gave us a choice... Furloughs or watch all your friends get fed to Unemployment line (20% by Seniority). That wouldn't have been me, but I'd rather take a little piece of the pie than see some of us without jobs all together.

It just sucks all the way around.

Donna and Susan, best wishes with your medical issues!

Thanks everyone - today, I feel tight but don't know if that's all the stress from having to wait until tomorrow to find out what, if anything, is wrong with me. I slept propped up with 2 pillows last night so I didn't have any reflux issues but now I've got a crick in my neck.

Diva - good for you for being willing to take a cut so that noone has to be cut.

PJTP...I'm sitting at my desk and wishing I was at home!

Just came in from a 3-hour training class...snooze! I nearly fell asleep several times, which isn't good, because I was the ONLY person in the class! :tongue:

Somehow I made it through, and I think I'll even retain most of what I heard - as long as I practice...

Susan - I wish you a speedy and pain-free recovery for both feet!

Donna - I hope you are not over-filled, but please get yourself checked...I'd hate to go through that at night.

TMI Alert: After having NO pb'ing so far, I've pb'ed twice in the last two days on food that gave me NO trouble prior to my first fill. I guess what I've read is true - it does take a while for the fill to 'catch up' to ya - I had my fill on January 6th, then felt a little restriction for about a week. After that, it seemed as if nothing had been done, but the past two days, I've been feeling tight. Guess I'll have to take it easy and eat even slower, chew even more and see what happens. I'm all for losing weight faster, but I can definately do WITHOUT the pb'ing - that was nasty!:cursing:

Cruise by PJTP: You know it is going to be a bad meeting when: the person convening the meeting can't remember what the meeting is about; when the people in attendance don't have any of the background material; and when management directs someone (moi) to attend the meeting with no history or knowledge of the topic because no one knows what the committee is doing and they want me to 'take control of it'. Yes indeed, a good meeting.........:cursing:

So I was asking the kiddies what they wanted to get their Daddy for his birthday and DD promptly answers me with "Deodorant and a nipple ring".

Was cruising by and saw your post. DH is CalFire as well. What part of the dept. are you in? He's at a station so they can't actually TAKE the days off, so they get the 10% pay cut and work the 2 days for free. Supposedly they'll get to take the days off later, after this is all over but ALL of them will have a whole 2yrs to each take an extra 30-some days off. Yeah, ain't gonna happen! AND I don't hear the legislators taking a hit like we are. Just the peons that make the state function are getting it in the @ss! Can you tell I'm ticked! LOL!

Hope you're ok thru this. It's going to be tough for us. Scary.

Best wishes thru this nightmare!

And I hurt my elbow yesterday punching a pillow.

BG, we don't talk about our personal "bedroom" behavior in this forum. Thanks.

To shave your toes?

Tap, what are you implying? Bwahahaha

So....you are the right hand that doesn't know what the left hand is doing? That's the management model of my hospital.

So I was asking the kiddies what they wanted to get their Daddy for his birthday and DD promptly answers me with "Deodorant and a nipple ring".

Those are some oddly specific answers!

      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!
