Map,

Honey, you and your son are in my prayers.

Here is a link to my story. It may or may not be similar; I don't have enough details about your son to know. It's post #19

I was in the hospital for two weeks and ran a fever for a good portion of that time.

I will PM you my contact info. Please feel free to contact me anytime with any questions.

((((Hugs))))

Elaine,

My son is not septic it's not in his blood, but I am very afraid that the infection may have spread to somewhere else, because in between his high fever, he was sort of yellow,yet his doctor said we were wrong.

Thanks again for caring, xxxxxx

ooooo

Hi,

I just wanted to stop by and let you know that I am thinking of you. I am in Sydney Australia and probably can't help this far away, but wanted to let you know that you are in my prayers.

Jen

      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!
