I got my band this morning with a slight complication



Recommended Posts

I got my band. In all it was a very easy process. The only problem I am having is my left lung partially collapsed at the bottom due to a cough I had they said. Its very hard to breath so they are having me stay overnight to watch my oxygen. It's around 89 until I they have me take deep breaths. The surgery was a cake walk. It's my breathing that is really hard. They are concerned it could turn into pneumonia. :(

Hope you're feeling better very soon and you don't get pneumonia. Glad to hear the surgery wasn't bad. My surgery is going to be on 11-11-11. Just hoping I stay healthy until then so I don't have to postpone the surgery. Good luck.

In Germany, 11-11 is the beginning of Fashing and things that happen on that day

are lucky.

My breathing is getting better. Thanks for the prayers. I bet this surgery would have been a piece of cake had I not have the lung problems. I feel like I want to eat, but just Clear Liquids for me.

Sorry you are having that kind of problem. Praying it clears up quickly.

      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!
