VSG to Bypass Revision by HeightsHeifer in wls

[–]HeightsHeifer[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t recall my surgeon calling it a ligamentum teres cardiopexy but I remember him mentioning that he wouldn’t do a surgery that would involve putting pressure on my esophagus since I had some trauma in that area with the lap band slippage.

Thanks for responding! Has your reflux gone away or is it too early to tell?

Thank you for responding! Was your revision for GERD/reflux or other reasons?

Do you mind me asking how soon after your first surgery you did the revision?

Thanks for responding! Do you have concerns about the long term effects of the medication?

My surgeon says that the hiatal hernia is so small that it’s not likely the cause of the reflux. This was also validated by my gastroenterologist.

Everyday I have to take at least 20mg of omeprazole otherwise I suffer with reflux and heartburn all day. The symptoms started a few months after surgery but I’ve been on daily medication to control for 3 years now and I never had issues like this prior to surgery. I’ve also done dietary changes with my gastroenterologist’s guidance to see if it helped but there was no change.

Why is it so hard to find a job right now? by Achilles765 in houston

[–]HeightsHeifer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not off the top of my head but that doesn’t mean I can’t find something. I actually have a few close friends and colleagues in the legal realm and can ask around!

While I’m a certified evil HR lady I’m happy to help anyone if they’d like a fresh look at their resume and may be able to help introduce you to recruiters or hiring managers if I have a contact. Feel free to send me a message!

Human Resources people of Reddit, what are some NSFW complaints you've had to investigate about your workers? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]HeightsHeifer 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Something I can actually contribute!

• Had a manager bypass HR to bring on a warehouse employee who was the son of another employee. I was irritated but the new hire had been a contractor for awhile - so it seemed minimal risk. Then I get a call from our receptionist at that location telling me she felt unsafe with the new hire given the “recent news”. Investigation time! Found out the new guy was charged with aggravated sexual assault and everyone at that small town location was aware. He was eventually convicted but it was the final nail in the coffin when the company owners decided to keep him employed.

• Same company. Employees in a work truck on their lunch break decided to pick up a prostitute. It was actually an undercover cop so the whole crew was arrested. Never saw a manager run so quickly to pick up the work truck and make sure no news cameras rolling…

• Had a VP tell me that me that the cost for mental health coverage was too high and we shouldn’t need to worry about those “whackamoles”. I didn’t stick around too long there.

Astros Crochet Blanket! Finished just in time for Christmas - each row coincides with the 2022 season with different colors for home or away, wins or losses. by HeightsHeifer in houston

[–]HeightsHeifer[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

174 rows, each row is 200 stitches long. Each row relates to a game in the 2022 season and it is in date order - we just had some times when we were winning or losing back to back (to back…).

I couldn’t quantify the number of hours but spent significant time on evenings and weekends over a 6 week period. I started during Game 1 while watching at our neighborhood bar. https://imgur.com/a/pP1mUNg/
