Here In San Diego...doesn't Feel Real Yet...



Recommended Posts

I am so glad that I am not the only one having these thoughts. I leave for Mexico a wee from Tuesday. I literally will only allow myself think in about 30 min increments or I start to panic. We all know that this is the right thing and we have to believe we will be totally fine.

You will do great! Thrilled for you.

I am scheduled for July 9 and fly into San Diego on July 8. It was the earliest date possible. Well, actually, late June was possible but it conflicted with a work commitent that I must keep.

I can hardly wait for your report!

WELL, LADIES. I WENT THROUGH WITH IT AND DIDN'T chicken OUT. MY SORENESS IS MINIMAL. MY BIGGEST ISSUE IS THE NAUSEA AND DRY WRETCHING. DR.GARCIA AND HIS TEAM ARE SO COMFORTING. IT'S NICE AND CLEAN HERE. I'M COMFORTABLE. THEY LET YOU USE THE CORDLESS TO MAKE ALL YOUR CALLABLE SO I DON'T GO HOME TO A CRAZY PHONE BILL. I HAD THE FIRST LEAK TEST AND THREW SOME OF IT UP. IT WAS CLEAR BUT SO NASTY. NO LEAKS SO I WILL FINALLY GET SOMETHING TO SIP ON VERY SOON. WHILE I'M WAITING I SNUCK A PEPPERMINT candy AND THAT HELPED WITH THE NAUSEA. THAT'S ALL I CAN THINK OF NOW BIT IF ANYONE WOULD LIKE TO ASK ANYTHING PLEASE DO ASK. THANKS FOR ALL THE WELL WISHES AND COMMENTS. THEY ARE APPRECIATED!

Hey, I'm finally back in San Diego waiting on my plane home!! I had the jp drain in for 2 days. I don't have the nausea anymore but now I have heartburn. I forgot the gas x strips so these tums are gonna have to hold me over till I get home. also not to ne negative but the driver didn't call me the night before to coordinate what te to pick me up like he said he would so I didn't get good rest cuzz I was worried I would miss my plane. The front desk finally got ahold of him and he came quickly. he's a very nice guy, we had time to kill when I first arrived so he took me sight seeing. Just get it together when he will pick u up to take u home.

      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!
