Haha thanks, I am far more intelligent than I look (or so I have been told) plus if I "tocked lyke dis" I would probably have to have myself euthanized :P

Also, I have a kid to be a role model for, and I adore language skills, not just english. My daughter has already been exposed to french, hebrew, spanish and sign language.

They use THC increase appetite and reduce nausea in cancer patients. It is an appetite stimulant. Plus, it causes what they call amotivational syndrome...lack of motivation, ambition. We used to show kids where I work a video about its side effects. According to the video it can impact male hormones and cause male breast tissue to grow and even lactate, and cause male infertility. In some rare cases, of course.

Absolutely with amotivational syndrome. I'm a substance abuse counselor and have seen this first hand many, many times.

A relative of mine experienced problems with dental anesthesia resistance as a result of marijuana. Not sure if this issue is documented in literature. My recommendation is to not use marijuana (unless medically necessary), tobacco or alcohol. Pre op I drank alcohol. Post op no more. Several o my relatives died on a ventilator from lung cancer due to smoking. I have never smoked a cigarette in my life and never intend to, though I was forced to be a passive smoker in my childhood (grew up in a smoking home).

My suggestion is that, if possible, get rid of all substances. By if you cannot, then go for moderation.

I want optimal health and am of the opinion that marijuana, alcohol and tobacco do not optimize health.

      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.

      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!
