Mother Nature Fighting Against Sugery



Recommended Posts

I'm due to be sleeved October 30th and I see the headline that a new perfect storm is going to hit the East Coast at the same time. I beat the doctors and their tests, I beat the insurance company and now I have to beat Mother Nature herself to get this done.

No problem, just another obstacle to climb right over ;)

Mother Nature can't always win. :)

Plus she tends to be finicky and frequently changes her mind.

Hospitals have really big generators. Which by the way are already sold out all over Jersey...

The hospital doesn't worry me. Babies are born every day no matter the weather. That part will be fine.

What worries me is being without power for a week when I go home. Last year we lost power for 9 days from a hurricane and then a week during Halloween from a freak snow storm. The power utilities in CT are terrible. Recovering from surgery in a cold, dark house is not going to be fun. Hope it doesn't come to that.

You probably have already done this but buy everything you will need before hand.

Make a list of every possible item u might need and get it plus some :)

Best of luck to you!!

Looking real dicey. Mandatory evacuation south of the hospital. Not so sure I want to recover in a house without power for a week. This is going to be miserable no matter what.

      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!
