Why do the hospital people keep warning me about not bringing valuables?? Is it really that dangerous? I don't remember this when I had kids. Have any of you had something stolen from the hospital? I really want my iPad there.

I had a private room so i had no issues. I will tell you, I took my iPad and never once had a desire to be on it!! I texted with family and friends and that was about it...I could never get comfortable enough to deal with my iPad.

I used my ipad a lot. I had it set up so my kids and I could facetime. I also watched netflix a bit and read. I was pretty comfortable though and didnt have a ton of pain. I went to Dr.Aceves so I wanted to be sure my kids and Icould keep in contact

Thank you so much for responding everyone! I have heard that I'll be too groggy to use it, but I will bring it just to FaceTime the kiddos :)

They told me at the hospital to just have a friend or family member hold on to valuables until I was transferred to my room. They said there was no where else they could keep it and be responsible for it.

I was told the same thing. Once I was in my room my husband brought me my iPad and I did use it and my phone to text friends.

Not necessarily the employees but could be other people who are at the hospital. That is a general disclaimer to let you know the hospital can not be responsible for your personal belongings. I work at a hospital.

      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.

        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!
