Babs is doing great!



Recommended Posts

Hey everyone I just wanted to post on Babs and her surgery today...I just got off the phone with Babs and everything went well, her surgery was 4 hours long and she is doing great and resting, she had her eyes, thighs, & tummy done and some moles removed. When she woke up she was in excrutiating pain in but is now on morphine and comfortable. She sounds great!

I can't believe it. She's living my dream come true. If anyone deserves this, Missy Babs, you're the gal. Can't WAIT to see you up n' at 'em running away from the guys!

Michelle, thanks. I'm burning the candle at both ends and appreciate the update.

Thanks for the report, Miss Angel! Glad to hear things went smoothly. Please send her our wishes for a smooth recovery (I hear that's the hardest part).

Babs hit a rough patch this evening & could use some good vibes sent her way. She breezed through her surgeries, although the first hour after waking up was excruciating. But then she had a great day, great staff, great hospital, till she had a bad reaction (hives) to Morphine. They just added a new Morphine bag with added Benedryl. She's taking her sleeping pills n' going nite-nite now, but she did eat real food today. She expects the true test will be tomorrow when they make her get up and walk around.

Just think… waking up for the first time in life with no belly roll? Pain or no pain, sounds like Heaven to me. Please pass the hives.

Hopefully they've given her something other than the morphine that is helping her feel alright. Even more good vibes from here :)

      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!
