Good evening fellow Bandsters! Gee, it feels good to say that! This is the first time I can post in the POST-OP section, yay :) I had my surgery this morning. Everything went great, with the exception of the fact that EVERYTIME I have anesthesia, I can't potty. So tonight I'm walking around with a cathater bag (super sexy, i might add) LOL!

Physically I feel pretty good. I've had a couple waves of nausea, but I have meds for that and they've passed pretty quickly. My abdomen is a little sore, almost like the way u feel after a kick butt ab workout. I was up and around pretty quickly after surgery, and for the most part I'm doing very well!

I look forward to sharing this journey together!

I'm peeing fine. Just not the other. Sorry to be graphic. Then I'm thinking I haven't had solid food for a few days but you would think something.

Karma-I haven't gone #2 since last Tues! My doc said to grab an over the counter stool softener, like Colace. I got that and took one last night, so we'll see...hahaha. I'm actually not too alarmed by it. liquid in, liquid out, huh?

      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!
