Why wouldn't you be allowed to paint your nails? I don't see why not.

They want your fingernails clear of color so the pulse ox can read your oxygen level and your heart rate properly. Clear polish is ok and so is anything on your toes.

The question is a good one. I had clear polish and fake nails I was ok. The reason she asked was some hospital prefer no polish so the finger Oxygen Saturation machine reads acurately.

I am ok, just having some discomfort in my incisions. But I think it's from doing a bit too much. It's hard when you get home and immediately be Mom again. It took about 2 hours. Are you leaving tomorrow ?

Why does. It take so long to get across the border. Are you waiting in the van the whole time? My plane leave around 11am so will they be wanting to leave for airport around 8am. Just trying to get everything figured out

Yes you wait in the van the whole time. It is just congested with cars trying to cross. It was actually interesting to see all the stuff that the people are selling on the way out. But when you get to the officer at the station, just remember to only answer what they ask. If you talk too much it's a sign of lying and they will get suspicious. And they are ALL business no joking around.

I wasn't supposed to but I had acrylic nails on. They said it was fine for me to take the nail polish off my toes instead of ruining my fingernails nails I got the week before haha

      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!
