Little Kansas kitty,

I'm soooo jealous. My dream is to own a ragdoll (or 10) . I have two cats of my own and I'm feeding three stray cats so it's not an option now.

I know a breeder locally but she has gone from $750 to $900 for her ragdoll kittens. Maybe one of these days 😸

You are a good cat mama! I gave the Ragdoll kittens as a Christmas present to my kids wrapped up in boxes on Christmas day. They were in that $ range which was not comfortable but I decided they were worth it since cats live a long time plus I loved their little sweet personalities. It truly was the best Christmas ever.

Hope all is going well with notifying work.

I am not telling my work what type of surgery I am having. They all know I have stomach issues such as ulcers so I am just letting them think it is due to that. I am very much an introvert and do not tell my business to others. I completely understand your feelings.

I’m very private too. I did not tell my boss anything other than I needed to take time off for surgery. He said fine and he did not ask me what kind of surgery I was having as that goes against company policy. I did not share any details with any of my colleagues either. Months before surgery I had started to adopt many of the post-WLS habits and started to lose weight, so no one commented on my smaller portions, drinking only Water (and not with meals), et al, once I returned to the office. Thankfully, these behaviors and subsequent weight loss were not correlated to my surgery, which was a relief.

      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!
