Just Got Banded On The 23Rd !!!



Recommended Posts

Hey everyone my name is Rocky . I got my band on Monday and it took 6 hours to put in ?? Anyway I had a lot of gas but that has since died down a lot and the gas pain is pretty much down . I was wondering I still feel hungry a lot is that normal ? I'm only eating Jello Water and tea and I had Soup twice just broth .

hi rocky i got my lapband done on the 24th jan and the wind pain has been terrible and also very stingy pain over the port cut still when i sit up from or turn over in bed but im following the book i got from the surgeons office called fork knife and band and you should be having 6 half cups of thin Soup or smoothies or Optifast shakes a day now plus you can have tea and coffee as well but small cups.i cooked up Soups and blended them and they are very satisfying and full of nutrients as well so try a bit more so you dont have to feel hungry.

I use either muscle milk light or proti-diet protien drinks. Depending if I want a shake type drink or a fruit type drink.

      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?

        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.
