Post Surgery

Hey alleycat!

Sorry, I overlooked your tidbit about having lived in Finland with your hubby. Moi! :)

You're totally right about some places in America not being equipped for walking at all. I lived in Modesto, CA before this and you couldn't get around without a car. After I had surgery, I took small walks around my couch (at first) and then around our neighborhood as I felt up to it.

I'm glad you're feeling a bit better. What a great idea to puree canned soups - I would never have thought of that, but it makes perfect sense!

I hope you continue to get well!

Denise:

Thank's again of your words .

Ashley:

Was it your health center that sent you to Laakso Hospital's G-scopy queue? Hopefully it will be in 3 months period. Relax, it will take only 5 minutes and then the exam is over.

Have you ever visited Finland's GERD-forum (=Suomen refluksi)? Almost everyone in there has had their G-scopy in Finland. There are many discussions of this topic. This topic is discussed so many times, but always this is a new situation for someone. If you want, open a new thread, I'll come to discuss with you. Hmmmnn, another choice, how does this "chatting room" work in here HW? If we are the only ones in there, we can change the language to Finnish?!

Alleycat:

That's very good to hear, you are in a better condition today Keep on going this way! In my recovery time it was nice to notice that everyday I felt better! I do hope the same to you!

Wow, your surgery was also assisted by the robot. That I knew in your ex-thread you had the same paraes.hernia, what I had. Now this is more interesting for me to follow your short (!) recovery. You had the same hernia + the same surgery + the robot. My surgeon did the floppy-Nissen to me, because I had that open LES. You said, you haven't that open-LES, so why to do the NF. Trust to your surgeon's decision!

That was fun, I didn't choose the robot surgery, my surgeon chose it for me. This was the first time in this hospital, when they used the robot to gastro-surgery. When I heard this robot-system I surfed in internet to find more infos of that. Almost every comments were positives. Then I was sure this would be good choice for me. One of my favorite internet discovery then was a you-tube video "da Vinci robot dance". It was fun!

I ate those liquids for 3 weeks, as I said before. Then I ate mashed and soft foods almost one month period. During this period I tested "harder foods" sometimes and quickly back to soft foods. (Nothing negative happened) I just wanted to be sure, everything will be ok in stomach when I was going to take the next step to normal food.

Now my BMI is 27 and ww-diet continues.

Try to find some places where to walk. Right now you need that "walk-walk-walk"...or come to Finland...we can walk almost everywhere

Have a nice Monday evening = Mukavaa maanantai-iltaa

Hi again!

Welcome to Finland on December! Which city are you comin?

Can I ask, if your stomach was normal, why did you eat prunes? I think, they are quick help to constipation...what did happen then?  Was the gas-problem the only one? If I have too much gas in stomach, here in Finland is pill's called Minifom (you can find this med from the Google). Do you have there any pill, which includes the same things? This is very light one, but works very well for me. I also have gas too much sometimes. 

That's true, living without the wrap is the better choice than wrapped. I'm sure, your surgeon made the right decision for you!!!!! Trust it!

Now here is time to go to sleep...

Good night = hyvää yötä
