Extreme muscle weaknes, soreness, awful

Shannon, do the doctors know how long you've had the blood clot? What are they doing to treat you for it? Are you feeling any better? It seems like some doctors don't take the care of their patients very seriously.

Get well! I'll keep you in my prayers.

Got blood clot, nearly died. Lots of damage.....been on back for 8 days. Horrible pain.................Sorry I decided to have this done. I am a mess!

Sorry you had to go through that. However, blood clots are a risk with any surgery.

Did you receive Lovenox before surgery?

Ouch! Was the blood clot band-related? Your comment that you are sorry you had this done suggests it is... where was the clot and did they have an explanation of how you got it?

Rest up -- I'm so glad they caught it in time!!

Good God. If you went that many days without treatment, you ARE lucky you didn't die. Be grateful your angels were watching over you!!

      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!
