Lookout~Almost There~Few More Hoops



Recommended Posts

I got a message this AM from my surgeon's office that ins needs more info, which they have available to send ASAP. Ins is also requesting I attend the 3 support groups requested by the psychologist. I thought those could have been pre & post band, but now ins is going along with what he dr says and they must be pre band. :mmph: They have to be groups offered by St Vincent's. The closest one is the 3rd Tues of every month so I'm going tonight. Since I am not going to wait 3 mos to get a surgery date, I am going to travel to Indy, South Bend or Kokomo to attend other groups.

At first, I was really ticked, but realized hey, they are going to approve me if I do this. :dance: Am I wrong in my thinking? Surely they wouldn't ask me to do this only to come back and say no. I feel excited, empowered, and ready to put some miles on the van!!

My wonderful DH is willing to take off work early to allow me to attend the required meetings. It's a team effort when you have kids. I'm so glad I married that man!! :love:

LOOK OUT ~ I'M ALMOST FINISHED JUMPING HOOPS ~

      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.

      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!
