No the bitchyness makes me uncomfortable.

Whoa dude, :confused1:

I just wanted to give a friendly nudge to remind you of this post of yours from the other thread about "leaks and infections". I guess this comment about bitchyness occured when the conversation was getting a little heated.

Let's just try to give cg as much support as we do anyone else without any judgement. I'm sure she's read the stuff on here about her doc.

I wasn't trying to be bitchy at all. I was trying to be supportive by suggesting someone go with her. Mexico is a dangerous place these days, whether your having surgery or not.

Bitchy wasn't exactly the word I would use, but it sounded a little condescending. Thanks for clarifying.

cg, I do hope you're able to find a surgery buddy. If I were having surgery in Mexico I probably would be on my own too so I would definitely have to rely on the support of forum members in case any problems came up. Maybe you can find someone who is scheduled for surgery after you so they will be well enough to check on you after you're out of the OR. In turn, you could be a surgery buddy to someone who is scheduled to be in the OR before you so that you can check on them. You get the idea...:confused1:

Keep us up to date on your progress.

I made a lot of good friends instantly when I arrived. Being nervous makes people bond quickly..... there will be people just like you there.

Thanks for the look out. I have been to plenty of places on my own; Mexico included! As some of you said earlier; I thought it would be nice to meet up with someone who was having the surgery the same day...maybe I will call Sandy.

P.S. Please no scare tactics...I have already read the threads about the leaks and infections; thanks for the heads up!

Oh.... good idea. I bet Sandy could connect you with some people that will be down there when you are.

      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!
