Had to Postpone Surgery



Recommended Posts

I have had to postpone my surgery and re-schedule it next week. My husband's father passed away suddenly so it has been really hectic and a mess! He was only 57....anyway....good luck to all the April Banders and hopefully I can join in May!!!!

So sorry to hear about your father in law, that was special of you to forego your surgery date in consideration of others. May is just around the corner.

There is a plan and a reason, God's timing is perfect, so don't sweat the surgery. Now you can take care of your husband and do all the many things you will do to be there for him. Good call! I'm so sorry for your loss.

Grammi, I'm so sorry for your loss. I'm sure your husband is very grateful that you are by his side right now. Everything happens for a reason (why can't I remember that for myself) and May is almost here.

Take care,

      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!
