Sorry it's been so rough but you sound like you're handling all this stress well. You've always been so good about getting back on track (eating.) I'm busy now but wanted to let you know I'm thinking about you. Peace.

Babs, so sorry for your family's loss.

Compression garments from head to toe? You're gonna roast. Now, for real, how many will you have to wear? When I had my surgery which included a Tummy Tuck (not for weight loss) I was in one from high waist to knees. Good thing you don't have to take them off & on to go to the ladies' room!

Hi Babs,

Hope things smooth out soon. The Cancun trips sounds exactly like what you need after all of this. Best wishes, Teresa

Babs, I'm glad you can see the end in sight for your MIL's visit. Sounds as if she can't focus on anyone except herself right now -- understandable, I guess, after such a loss. I hope your husband is coping well. She might have lost a husband, but her son lost someone he's known his entire life. Good luck next week.

Sorry for the loss of your Father-in-law. It was great of you to take such good care of your Mother-in-law. I know it has been extremely stressful for you, but it is only for a short time. Hang in there!

Have a wonderful time! Cancun is where the love of my life proposed to me, so I have VERY fond memories of it. If you can, take the day trip to Xcaret. It's amazing!

Hasta la vista, Babsy!! :)

I'm so sorry for what you have been going throuhg. Sorry about your FIL, and I'm sorry that you have had it so rough, with your MIL. It is understanding that your MIL is having a hard time right now, but you are being a very good daughter to her indeed. NO GOOD DEED GOES UNREWARDED. Have fun in Cancun and enjoy your vacation. I'm so excited about you getting your tt, I too am scheduled for one this summer and can't wait to have my bulges gone. I'm a bit scared, but mostly just very excited. And I'm sure not looking forward to wearing those tight girdle pants ( I had Lipo on my outer thighs two years ago) and those pants are the hardest thing about the whole recovery thing. I hate to wear tight stuff, yuck!!!

      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!
