Feeling Much Better



Recommended Posts

I have not been on Rny in awhile but am finally feeling better. I had my surgery 8-3-12 and was the poster child for complications. Am just getting to the point where i might be glad i had it done. Im still on a feeding tube but feeling pretty good. I was in the hospital for 37 days and still had a drain for an absess and a g-tube in when i was released. I thank god that all seems to be going in the right direction now.

So glad you are feeling better. Sorry you had to go through so much. And some people have the nerve to say this is "the easy way" Nothing easy about WLS from trying to get it approved to having the surgery and changing your life style completely.

Wishing you strength and healing today.

Hugs

      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!
