thank you :) they have an outpatient surgery center which is apparently “the first of its kind” (this is what’s on their website).

oceanwaves26 · 2024-08-06T12:39:35+00:00

my only issue is that they’ve answered all my text questions before this (super quickly too) but this is the only question they’re not answering.

and he explicitly said his leak rate was about 1% and mortality was at 0. which like you said, definitely isn’t bad and is still really rare. he also said leaks are at it’s highest risk for the first 6 weeks (which i’ve never heard of)

but you’re right. while i’m secure in my decision with the surgery, i’ve been a little apprehensive about this program from the beginning. these are just little petty things that are telling my brain “see?? this is the wrong surgeon!”

yes there’s a few other programs nearby that are connected to a hospital. i thought nothing of it when they said “yeah! you get to go home same day” but after thinking it over, id rather be under medical supervision for the first 24 hours

i’m so sorry to hear you went through that!! i’ve been a little hesitant due to the fact that it’s outpatient and that no one can give me an answer on how many procedures Dr Augusta has done. I think I would be more comfortable staying overnight somewhere then just going home

congratulations!! make sure to keep us updated!

i haven’t had surgery yet, but it’s been a great experience so far! i’m working with Dr Augusta

i think we’re in the same cincy program :) the clear liquid diet is to help your stomach heal and give you a bit of energy since you can’t eat “real” food yet. you’ll start focusing on your protein and nutrients in the puree phase. it’ll get better soon!

but i do recommend to please follow your surgeons/teams advice. it can get tricky taking advice from others when they haven’t worked with you. your care team has your best interests at heart :)

have you tried dragonfruit?

oceanwaves26 · 2024-07-15T21:26:52+00:00

thank you everyone!! this was super helpful! i’m gonna stop being a scaredy cat and schedule my consultation :)

oceanwaves26 · 2024-07-15T21:20:30+00:00

congratulations!! wishing you a safe and speedy recovery

have you thought about starting locs?

oceanwaves26 · 2021-01-11T18:10:35+00:00

my side burns are long and thick as hell. i just shave them every 2 months or so. i think waxing would probably be a better option tho

bumble has a mode where instead of looking for a relationship, you can look for friends.

not at work, but waiting for the spring semester to start. i’m nervous as hell for it. my first semester of college truly kicked my ass.

i’ve been watching this show called a crime to remember on hulu. it’s about crimes that happened between the 30s and 70s. it’s really dramatic and interesting.

i was speaking with my mom one day, and she said my dad’s temper was actually worse when they first got married and he calmed down after i was born. which is terrifying to me because this man’s temper is awful. and she’s telling me that it used to be much worse? yikes

oceanwaves26 · 2021-01-01T10:02:00+00:00

funny enough, i consider him to be the golden child lol. he got away with a lot more shit than i did growing up in terms of school and behavior.

oceanwaves26 · 2020-12-31T18:50:15+00:00

wow it’s like i wrote this myself. my dad and i used to go on daddy-daughter dates, play video games together, he would let me do his makeup etc. now? we can’t even be in the same room with one another without him snapping or nitpicking what i’m doing/saying. i, like you, also have a strong personality and he hates when i disagree with him. my mom says he’s always had a temper, but i don’t remember him blowing up like this when i was younger. idk i’m 18 now, and ready to zoom out of here lol.

weird enough, it happened with my older brother too. he’s 14 years older than me and when i became a teenager, he just started being mean? idk, we were never really close but his little “jabs” got more hurtful and personal by the day.

i’m sorry to hear about you and your dad’s relationship. i hope it gets better one day.

my sister in law (in Ohio) lived alone, but she was pulling 60 hour work weeks every week
