I've had a bit of an LBT sabbatical, but I want to know how you're doing. Figure you're most likely to check here, that I know of!

How about the rest of the old RnR crew? Different flavor here now. Anyone still around?

Hi, Wheets. I haven't been posting much since I was diagnosed with cancer of the right larynx. The treatments have really been knocking me out. I am now, they believe, (there is one scan still pending) cancer free but the chemo and the radiation have left me exhausted and bald. I will say one thing, cancer is very slimming. I now weigh an anorexic 109.8 lbs and that is with a defilled band. I have enough spare skin that I could repave a whole family of burn victims. In fact, undressed I kinda look like a Sharpei. This is very weird for me. I have never ever been skinny! Of course, I have never been bald, either.

BJean is still around but the rest of the old gang seem to have dropped off the site. I miss 'em. I have missed you. How is the pregnancy coming along? Feel free to give me a PM if you like.

Actually I have just finished up with the chemo. It is likely that I am cancer free. Certainly my tumor is gone and it was a biggie. I will be getting a full body scan next month just to ensure that it hasn't spread anywhere else but this is unlikely since there was no sign of spreading when I first began my treatments. Now I just have to recover from the cancer cure - the radiation and the chemotherapy. Both types of treatment are extremely hard on the body as they are extremely toxic; of course they have to be in order to kill off the cancerous cells.

I am gaining an appetite and weight, though. I never thought that that would be a good thing. LOL

      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!
