Last PRE-op post!



Recommended Posts

It is 7:05 am on the day of my surgery. This will be my last official post in the PRE-op thread. I am both excited and nervous. I woke up at 3 am and could not fall back to sleep. I am hoping that all goes well today and that the pain and recovery time are minimal. Wish me luck. I will update tomorrow.

Day one post op and the pain is minimal. I did underestimate the gas discomfort however. i am also havong a difficult time taking in enough liquid. It is difficult to swollow as i feels like a have a gas bubble in my stomach. I'm sure that this will subside. All i can say to everyone that has yet to under go surgery. Walk, walk, walk. i have probably done a mile already today. It does help.

Congrats on being banded! Sorry your gas pains are bad--mine lasted about 2-3 weeks, but each day got better. I'm sure you'll feel better tomorrow and hopefully better every day after. Take care and let us know how you're doing.

      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!
