A new medical issue for me.



Recommended Posts

I have a tentative appointment for April 1 at 8 a.m. at MD Anderson in Houston. I was told to expect to stay five to seven days for testing and possible treatment. I don't know if any of this will be as an inpatient. I'll stay with my mother. This could change if the final pathology report varies from the preliminary report. Now I have a week to get my classes ready. I already have a sub!

The unfill feels great! I had a good appetite today but felt like I kept it under control. I can tell that I've already broken some bad habits so I'll just have to be careful not to start them up again.

Thanks again, y'all! :shades_smile:

I remember the first day well at MDA with my sister. We spent the entire day trying not to be late for her next appt. They cover alot of ground in a short period of time that you are there, and that is good - it allows you to 'get on with it' , whatever 'it' ends up being.

Please remember the offers you have had for help - don't try to do this alone.

What a doll bandpal is . . . I love the song and think the nurses at MDA will love it too when you hang it on your wall there. It is going to put a smile on the face of all who come into your room. That is awesome bandpal! :wub:

I am thinking of you today Kendra and hope you are feeling well and that your spirits are high.

Love,

Lynn

      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!
