The wait and the wants



Recommended Posts

I meet my maybe surgeon on Thursday. I'm so anxious and excited. How do I pass the time? I made a list of things I want....

  • Not look around to figure out if I'm the heaviest person in the room
  • Worry that my chair will break, squeak, crack under my weight
  • BE DONE WITH THE CPAP!!!
  • RUN! I WANT TO RUN!
  • Fit comfortably in a booth
  • Chase my daughter
  • Take less medication
  • Be alive when my daughter graduates, gets married, has a baby, rasies her kids
  • Retire healthy
  • Be truly happy
  • At lease LIKE my body

Does anyone else have a list?

you cover it pretty well. I think it will be nice to sit in any chair as most have arms on them. It will be nice to do the things I want and not have to sit and watch everyone else do them, or be the reason everyone doesn't get to do them. A roller coaster ride would be nice too.

You should check out a post I put up on the Post-Op board. Everyone posted their recent NSVs (non-scale victories). There are so many that are just like the things you are looking forward to happening! So, you have a lot to look forward to! :frown:

Best wishes,

Catherine

      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!
