6 days post-op and back at work. Down 20 lbs since Pre-op diet and feeling pretty good. Still having issues with some gas pains but am moving around and taking Gas-X. Hard to believe that a yogurt and applesauce cup were the only two things I've had today and I am FULL. This band is going to end up being my life saver!!

Good luck and Best Wishes to all Banders coming up. It's been since Aug 6 I got banded. No issues, No problems with surgery and a mild post-op, and I still love the costco Premier Protein chocolate shakes, especially if you freeze them for 40-50 minutes prior to drinking. Its make a great smoothie and the texture changes to an ice cream condition.

Be Positive and May the good Lord Bless all of YOU!

      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!
