I also was cleared for mushies earlier than most by the nutrionist because I wasn't keeping liquids down. Then I moved to solids probably way sooner than most. I'm big on testing boundaries..."let's just see how far we can push this band..." Did it cause my slip? Probably.

I'll never forget after my revision surgery, I told my surgeon that I had zero restriction, unlike the first time when I got full after two teaspoons of Jello. I said something like, "I feel like I could eat as much as I want..." his reply was "DON'T." Not exactly great advice for a fat girl.

Anyway, I still push my boundaries because I feel like my band hasn't been working right from the get-go. Would my outcome be different if I was 100 percent compliant with doctors orders -- sometimes ambiguous...sometimes conflicting with other doctors? Who knows?

  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.

    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.

  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!
