Something funny in bed this morning



Recommended Posts

I was sleeved on December 11, 2102. I am a big guy a year ago before I started this journey I weighed 415 and am 6'3. I was 372 on surgery day and I am now 328. I was in bed this morning waking up and rubbing my chest and stomach just feeling around and noticed in the center of my chest I have a knot around 2 inches and protruding a little. I was like what the hell is this! Oh great I have found a tumor, then it hit me still not being quite awake and realized I have never in my life felt my xiphoid process /sternum. I read that the little bone grows bent and is more pronounced on very large obese people but is never seen unless there is a large weight reduction. Anyway, it made me laugh this morning and my wife to when I called her at work.

I thought that bone felt bigger than it did when I was younger! I attributed it to age, but now I know! I also have a knot on my right collarbone where it ends at the middle of my neck . I swear that wasn't there when I was younger either, but the Dr. looked at it and just said it was normal bone.

Also finally got a diagnosis for Rheumatoid Arthritis when I lost weight and the Dr. could see how swollen my joints were. Sheesh!

      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.

      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!
