I have searched the CCRA website and can't find what I"m looking for. I definitely do not want to tell this gal... she IS nice, but has a big mouth, and wouldn't personally benefit from me educating her about it!

I'll look a little harder on the website and see if I can find something.

Thanks guys.

My mom left a voice message for me telling me that my grandma (dad's mom) died this morning. It wasn't really unexpected, she hasn't been 'well' in a long time... been in a nursing home for maybe 11 years, with very bad Alzheimer's and I'm sure not in a good state. We hoped that this would come to 'put her at peace', so I guess it is good... much better for her. I hadn't seen her in a really long time, but my dad did go visit more often. Anyways, yeah, kinda sad... but relieved that she's not suffering anymore.

My condolences Mandi. You are right, she is no longer suffering.

You can also call a CCRA hotline for answers to your questions. I am sure that you can ask them anonymously if you prefer.

Condolences on your grandmother. In some ways it is a blessing. Try to remember her for the women she was before she became ill.

The computer has a built in camera that has little 'filters' you can apply weird things to the pictures you take, such as:

      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!

    • buildabetteranna

      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!
