Looking for a buddy



Recommended Posts

Hey there! I'm going to be banded on July 22nd and would LOVE to have a buddy through this process. Things like this are always hard for me, hence, resorting to surgery. If you'd like to share the experience, let's get together!! :)

Congrats, I was banded on 6/6 and really excited that I did. I too was nervous, even scared, but all went well. I went home the same day and was thrilled to be home in my own comforts. I was really sore in my port area, but it was tollerable. I slept in my recliner for a little bit, but what helped me was walking it out and sleeping with a electric blanket on low over my stomach. If I can help in any way just ask. I am a newbie but sometimes questions are for those who just had the surgery.

That's great, Congratulations!! Right now, I'm just SUPER excited. The terrified part will probably happen at 6am on my surgery day as I get prepped! lol I had knee surgery in 2009 and I know they have something to calm me down, so I will not be afraid to ask for it, you shouldn't either. It'll make ya giggle!! :)

Congratulations!! How is your weight loss coming? Thanks for the tip, I'll make sure I have my electric blanket handy. I guess I can thank my ex-boyfriend for leaving it when I gave him the boot! lol Do you work? If so, how long were you out of commission? I have ready it can be anywhere from 3 - 10 days. My surgery is on a Friday so I just let my work know that I may be back to the office the following Thursday, sooner if it's tolerable.

      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!
