Feeling so depressed



Recommended Posts

First off, Im so sorry youre having such a hard time!! Im waiting for approval for my surgery currently and everything you have written about are all things that scare me! I cannot say I understand how you are feeling because I don't yet, but I know you can do it! You've gotten so far already. Also, it totally caught my eye that you had surgery by Dr. Machado....that's who I am having surgery with as well. Its been a long road for me, I have been seeing her since April.

Hi there fellow dr. Machado patient! I have to say I’m a little disappointed with her and the office right now but I’m sure the results vary. My surgery went well. I have been having trouble with drinking Water without it hurting for a bit and telling the office only resulted in them telling me to drink smaller sips. That did not help. Also, the appointment issue is a big deal for me. I now have a phone visit scheduled but they took it out on me, saying that I really have to follow up and I should know that. No kidding! That’s exactly what I was trying to do when I took the day off from work to come in for my scheduled appointment! It’s just frustrating, and then to get told to stay on purées “because people aren’t learning “. Excuse me, but I have followed everything to a T, and they would have known that if I had been able to come in for my appointment. Every day, I make it to 60-80 grams Protein and the 64 ounces of Fluid. Even if I have to force myself, I do it because I know the consequences. It’s just so infuriating to be lumped in with anyone who might not be doing as well only because they couldn’t get me in for the appointment I had scheduled.

      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!
