Just got home after a long day its after midnite and I got seriously excited to get the sleeve approval letter from my ins company! YEA!!

While doing a small victory dance in the kitchen, waving the letter like a fan, I listen to my vox mails....

and hear Debbie Downer from my Dr's office say that my surgery scheduled for Sep 28, has to be rescheduled for Oct 14 because the Dr will be on vacation till then.

"Damn you Debbie Downer!" Why would I want a well rested and relaxed surgeon perform surgery on me? Two more weeks it feels so far away already. Two more weeks to ride the up and down crazy ment as l roller-coaster of anxiety over this. Damn damn and double damn again.

Standing in the middle of the room trying to re frame this problem in my head, a lil voice from behind me whispers,

"Mom, there's no one else here. Who is Debbie, why are you mad at her, and why are you crazy jumping around the kitchen? Do you need help? Mom, have you been drinking or something? Should I wake Dad up? (Damn caught in the act)

"No sweetie, I'm fine. Just some letters I was reading. Go back to bed."

Overheard as he shuffled down the hall,

"I always tell my teachers that reading makes you crazy. I gotta tell them not to send any notes home with me."

      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!
