Intro - day 1 post op



Recommended Posts

Hello all - I am on day 1 - post op and just wanted to intro and thank everyone for their posts, they have helped a lot to read and get info from those who have experienced this procedure.

I am excited, in pain...and....curious to see what the next several months hold for me.

Be well....Wayne

Wayne,

Good luck on your recovery, I'm sure the next few months will go well for you. I go in Thursday the 18th for my band, I'm excited, yet I hate hospitals, so I'm praying all goes well for me!

Good luck,

Tina

I will be praying for you - be strong and stay as calm as you can in the hospital. It is over so quickly you won't believe it.

God Bless..

Hi Wayne congrats to you. I'm also day 1 post op. I was only allowed ice chips and Water until this morning. I'm now enjoying a cup of chicken broth and sf popsicles. Stomach is still very sore because the pain meds aren't really working. I jus requested sum of the liquid tylenol everyone speaks about. Congrats to you and everyone banded earlier this month. I'm so excited to be starting my journey.

Thanks for the reply. We should keep in touch as we started this journey on the same date. :scared2:

My pain is much better today - two days post op. I can feel a sizable difference in the discomfort. I am so happy for that...my legs - my calves - are sore as I think I was walking differently to help with the stomach pain. You get that?

I am on broth, Jello and muscle milk....that's about it. I want to cheat, but then again, I don't want to. I am ready to do what has to be done.

Drop me a line....Wayne

Hi Ruth,

I'm getting banded tomorrow. I have to be at the hospital at 6:30am.. I'm a bit nervous, but that's really because I hate hospitals.. I'm sure you'll do fine. Good luck in your journey, and keep us posted how your doing :cursing:

Best wishes,

Tina

      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!
