I have a question my LapBand surgery is schd for 2/29/12 and this is sooner then I expected. We were planning to take our 3 boys to Disney some time in March so my question is:

Will planning a trip to Disney a month after my surgery be that bad? I'm not sure how I will fell afterwards.... any insight is helpful.

This depends on how long your Dr. wants you on liquids then purreed, then solids. As for my Dr. I had to be on liquid diet for 2 weeks, and the same for the rest. Other Drs. do the diet differently. So depending on him will depend on how well you will enjoy disney or not.

Good luck

Keep in mind for the first 4 weeks after surgery you're not supposed to do any strenuous exercise or lift anything over 10 pounds. That would include luggage. Depending on when in March you go, you could have a bit of tenderness or gas pain still too.

You are sore but it is not awful. I just had my gallbladder removed (Thursday will be a week) and I am in more pain with this than I was with the band surgery. Just take things day by day, and dont overdo anything.

      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!
