Bryn sorry about the💦, you know you may return from the OR,either on a blue-backed absorbent pad or a "granny pad: and mesh panties on. One of the detrimental joys of being female and being pre-menopausal. Aunt Flo would show up at the most incovenient times, like,most relatives drop in uninvited and overstay her welcome. I kept begging my gynecologist to help me murder the old broad, never would, I had to let her die off on her own, and typical sneaky broad, she sputtered many months until she,gave up and moved away. Last time was the morning my older grand-daughter was born, waiting for my son-on-law to call, thought well I'll tinkle one more time and surprise! Usually a little cramping before but not this time, afteriNaomis' s both my RD and I had granny pads on, she had a good excuse, me, didn't know if Aunt Flo was going to spit and sputter or vomit red all over my undies. And usually when she decided to do the letter not even tampons slower her down. I was 60 years 2 months and 10 days old, it was not fair! My mother started at 9, was over at 54 maybe 55, I started the week before my 13th birthday and was chugging along for that long. Couldn't catch a break!

Oh wow! Haha. Yea I am expecting the mesh panties... but I came prepared for after the surgery so I can feel like myself. At least my doc said he takes the catheter out right away so I won’t have increased discomfort lol

Good luck on your surgery. Remember after surgery to Walk, Walk, Walk. It will help to keep the gas pain at bay. Also make sure they install a trapeze bar above your hospital bed. It will help you get up out of bed with less pain.

Good Luck all of you- Moondoggie all 4 paws pointing forward? Good, no more howling without,purpose at the moon, going to pray your surgery is so smooth. you won't have to whimper. They put collars sround dogs necks so they won't bite and chew at their wounds, do we have put a big plastic collar on you just below the chest? Maybe we should put mittens on your front paws?

[emoji23]. My paws are all ready to move forward and my tail is in the air from excitement! The better not put me in the Cons of Shame!!! [emoji23]

      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!

    • buildabetteranna

      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!
