Well I got banded today at about 11:30 and I am feeling great. I can't believe how quick the surgery was. I have very little pain at this point. I am sure it will hurt a lot more tomorrow. I am so excited to start living life and enjoying life with the family.

Best of luck to you!!! Please keep us updated on your progress. I'm having mine done on the 17th and I'm a little, ok a lot, worried about the pain.

Congrats, I got banded on 10/1 and had absolutely no pain and never took any pain meds. The swelling made life a little un-comfy for a couple of days, but nothing a couple of Tylenol couldn't handle. I get my first fill on the 9th.

Welcome to Bandland! I didn't have much pain either. A headache is way worse. Good luck on the liquid diet and on the mushie stage. It will go by very quickly and it's very important for your healing.

Have a great journey!

The only issue I seem to be having now is every now and then I get nausea and then dry heave. It does not feel good at all. I went to my follow up to day and they said everthing looks good. I can eat Soups tomorrow as long as they are blended with no chunks. I hope this helps with the nausea.

Dry heaves??? Hmmm, I wonder if it is like I had and that was massive hunger pains. The liquids just were not cutting it for me. I had to stop the all diet and move to mushy foods after 3 days. All liquids me a feel of nausea, but once I had some grits or oatmeal, it quickly went away. I moved to fairly solid food within 14 days.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!

      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?
