March 26th surgery



Recommended Posts

Hi everyone!!! I am so ready for surgery and a new way of life. I have to pay for the surgery myself since the insurance company refuses to budge but I know in the long run it'll be well worth it. It bothers me that you pay for insurance for years and years and when you finally want to use it they deny the claim. I won't gripe about it anymore, I will move forward and never look back. Gotta get ready for pretests at hospital so bye for now.:mellow:

Ditto for me!!!

sorry to hear your insurance has been so unwilling to help you get healthy, I completely agree with your take on it. They take your money for yrs, but when it comes time for you to move forward to be a healthier person they want to stand in your way.

Good luck tomorrow!!

Thank so sooo much Moondust....after a rocky start with the hospital everything went smoothly (just about 3 hrs behind schedule).

So far, other then feeling like Mike Tyson's sparing partner and not being able to find anything to help with the dry throat I'm feeling A-OK.

Thanks again for the good thoughts and prayers, I know I'm gonna need all of them I can get!!

mlfull,

Are you feeling better?

I know the dry throat didn't last too long for me. The sparing partner (lol!) feeling, well, I'm still a little tender.

glo13 and stareeide4u,

I hope you breezed right through!

      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!
