Really Getting Started!



Recommended Posts

I saw my PCP on Monday for a sinus infection. He's referred me to Dr. Kuwada.

Dr. Kuwada's nurse just called, and the ball is getting ready to roll! She took down some basic information, and I should get an evaluation appointment within the next week.

Now if I only knew how to insert the dancing bananas, this post would be complete :D

Scroll all the way to the bottom of the screen. In the bottom left hand corner there is a box that talks about things being "on". Click on "Smilies" and it will bring up a screen with all the codes you can type in to get these things to appear.

I'm doing pretty good...having trouble sleeping. But since i have to get up about every 2 hours to go to the bathroom it seems I've been trying to get a couple of oz's of protien drink in and walk around my house for about 20 minutes. I'll be glad when I can lay in my bed again...or get up out of a chair and not feel so "tight"

How are you Diane feeling ..you guys are 2 week out now right?

      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!
