Finally told my mom



Recommended Posts

23 days until I leave for Tijuana. I was running out of time to tell her and it was stressing me out so bad keeping it a secret. My mom is one of my best friends and I just did not want to stress her out or make her worry with the fact that I am going to Mexico for surgery. I feel like a huge weight has been lifted off my shoulders. Things went way better than I expected. She is 100% confident with my decision and where I am going because she knows me well enough to know that I have done my research. She just hates that I am going to be so far away if something was to go wrong (from one side of the state to the other). I feel so good now. I love my mom.

That is great that you were able to share this with her. I am glad she is being supportive, family support means the world. Mom is going to worry, all moms do that. My mom is 80 and I am 46 and she still worries about me all the time.

Thanks Amanda. It is a huge peace of mind. She even bought me an iPad mini for my birthday so I would have it to take with me to Mexico.

      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!
