Thanks Karen for your thoughts. I called the office this week and still nothing. I am not sure what they are waiting on. We are ready on this end. Well as ready as I will ever be. This weekend when I would change Curtis' diaper he would yell that it hurt. The little thing is sticking out more and I am sure it's bothering him. I just want it over with....I will call again next week and see where I can get with it. I don't want it near Christmas because tihs is the first year he is really going to get into it. So I hope it's within the next few weeks or they wait until the first of the year.

Thanks again for asking....We are still trucking away.

Ok here is where we stand...Curtis still isn't scheduled and want be before the 29th because the Dr is out of the office. So if we can't get it done the first week of Dec I really want to wait til the first of the year. Now as if I didn't have enough to worry about is I think my division has been sold. (Karen I know we work together please don't say anything we aren't suppose to know, lets do lunch soon and I will tell you all about it.) So now I don't know if or for how long I will have a job more importantly at this point insurance. So now I am worrying myself to death over this. All the what if's? My SIL is getting me a updated resume from a friend who does them professionally. So please if you can keep my family in your thoughts and prayers....for Curtis and for me that I can continue with no insurance problems for Curtis. Also this is my networking plea...if you know of anyone hiring in the area please keep me updated...at this point I will consider most anything!

As always thanks for letting me talk here...it really helps not keeping it in...You guys are the best!

Kim, I'll give you a call and/or drop you a note at work tomorrow. Please try not to worry; everything will work out. Is Curtis' OK or at least not in pain while he awaits a surgery date?

Hey everyone we have a date...His surgery is scheduled for Dec 7th @ 9:30 am. We will go in on the 6th for them to clean him out again. I know what to expect there this time so that want be so bad. I am hoping my sister is off that day so she can come with me again...she is an RN and is so helpful with this. So I am nervous and excited all at the same time. I am SO glad we are moving forward on this...he should be good for Christmas..

Keep us in your thoughts and prayers as our journey gets under way. I will try to get ahold of one of my NC friends to let them know how it goes so they can post it for me.

Thanks for your support...

      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!
