Cosmic humor hits me pre-op



Recommended Posts

Yea, this old universe has a sense of humor. It can be a mean one, but there's no question in my mind now that it exists.

I'm in my 50's, haven't had "that time of the month" in ages so what happens today?

Yep. I know this whole thing can kick hormones into gear but I didn't think it would happen this fast or when they have been so dormant. So now I have something to be very grateful for. I can get over the cramps before surgery day.

You other older women out there who are pretty much done with that phase of life but are going to be going through this.....um, might want to go buy some supplies just in case. Better to have them under the sink not needed than not to have them.

Men are so lucky.

You may want to check with your gyno about that. When you start out of the blue like that it can be caused by a variety of factors. It just happened to my friend. She had to have a D&C, during which a polyp was discovered. Still waiting for the pathology report. Just sayin' .....

I think that's funny. My period started right before too. Then as soon as I got there it went into hiding for a week and a half, now it's starting again, lol

Don't be surprised if it does. My understanding is that a lot of unplanned pregnancies can happen after this surgery because your hormones get all excited and feel young again. And since you'll be happy and excited right along with them, welllll.......:P

      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.

        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!
