Got my first PSA results after the surgery, less than 1/10 of one point, which means I am clean (For now). Now, only 10 more tests, one every 6 months for the next 5 years showing the same results and I am considered cured. :D


To Celebrate I got on the bike and did a couple of miles.

I'm familiar with two types. Hard-tail and Soft-tail. Hard-tail is your standard bike that most folks ride. Shocks in the front only. Soft-tail has shocks in front and back. There are many different soft-tail configurations. I don't own one, but I'd like to. Not sure how much I'd ride it. At 66/yrs, not sure the old body could handle all the shock and awe some of the rocky trails have?

Components should be very important. I like Shimano Deore XT for the derailleurs but I'm sure there are others that are just as competitive. You can probably pick up a decent new bike for $1K and a used one for half that?

Of course, you need somewhere to ride? Here in Colorado and in Utah, the trails are endless. And I agree with Terry, Moab is a mtn bikers dream destination.

Mtn biking and road biking are sooooo different, and I love them both. when I am on my road bike it is a zen like experience, becoming one with the bike, the repetitive motion of your legs, it is very calming and peaceful for me. Mtn biking on the other hand is an "E"ticket ride, better than roller coaster you have ever ridden. It is total concentration and depending on the grade, total fear. Like I said, I love them both.

As far as what 2mf said, I wish I had gotten a soft tail, but I will ride my hard tail for a couple of years and then move to a soft tail. I got a Giant 29' Tracker for 900.00 and it is one sweet ride.

      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!
