Hey Gaffer how's that special room you booked ? Hope it's nice.

It's not so much that it was a special room that I booked, just a special rate for Valentine's day.

Other than that the hotel if fine for what we need it for.

Hey guys! I made it to the "other" side!! I feel fine except for the upper gas discomfort. Gas X is amazing! You can't neccesarily OD on that can you?? I also have some neck and shoulder discomfort but no pain at the sites so far.

Thank you all for yur kind words, well wishes and support. I have started my journey and it just seems all so surreal right now. Talk to ya guys later.

Hey Gang,

Just checkin in after my surgery. Things are going pretty well, and I am up a walking around, Gas pain has not been too bad, mostly like a muscle ache. Dr. C also had to fix a hernia while he was in there so he said that will contribute to the pain. 3 of the 4 patients he did yesterday had to have heria repairs

Becca, I did not get a chance to see you at the clinic yesterday, you were in recovery while i was in being preped.

Thanks for the support guys.

Yes Andrew, I suspected I was in lala land while you were there. Glad to hear you're doing well.

I am pretty sure you were in lala land. I remember hearing the nurse telling you that you had to brethe.

I gotta say that I found all the staff there to be really good, and the Dr. who did the anestesia was excellent.

Andrew congrats on the successful surgery! You and Becca both sound like you are doing fine. Good to hear. :)

I am almost 6 days out and I am feeling really well. Probably could have gone back to work but hey the time is covered so oh well. :girl_hug: So happy about the idea of taking off the strips this weekend. They are a little itchy. My skin is really sensitive so the strips leave itchy red marks. Yuck! Other than that just some minor pains here and there when I move in certain ways but that's about it.

Again Becca and Andrew congrats. Hope you are both heal up fast and well. :girl_hug:

      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!
