Recommended Posts

It's done- now my new life can start! Was in surgery at 830 now home about an hour. Nurse said it went great. Have a headache but guessing lack of caffeine. Super drowsy.....

Congratulations ! Welcome to the other side. So rest and walk around the house to get the gas out , and you'll probably feel better in a couple of days. dont forget your fluids ! My 1st 2 days were resting, by the 3rd day i went and did a little lite Xmas shopping. just being outside and breathing fresh air for an hour did wonders for me. Hope all goes well ! im so glad i got banded, it has been sooooo worth it !

Thanks Patty- today is a much better day lots of nausea yesterday. Having my first sips of Lipton chic noodle Soup sans the noodles and only broth but sounds better than saying I'm having an ounce of broth!

      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?
