So glad I found this...swear I thought it was just me. Was banded the 25th as well. Have had diarrhea for the last 4 days :( I have NO energy...tried going to work yesterday and am back home today. I am not drinking Protein drinks (not on my 'list') but perhaps I should try them???

I had a similar thing the second night after surgery--the nurses said it was because of the swallow test--but honestly, I have had a lot of surgery and end up having uncontrollable diarrhea every time, usually somewhere around the day after surgery, so I suspect it probably has something to do with the anesthetic or all the meds they give you too (my other surgeries had nothing to do with my digestive tract). Things have been pretty much fine and under control since, except it happened to me again yesterday (I had surgery 2/21, so I'm a week and a half post-op)

      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?
