I'm sorry to say its just now 1month after my lapband sx and I'm just now getting back to normal! I did develop a hematoma under my port incision though. So that was scary an painful I'm literally just now getting around with no pain after one month but all ppl heal different. Good luck!

Don't play doctor, keep the tapes on. After showering, dont rub, pat them dry. My surgeon told me to stay on Stage 1 (liquids & clear) for 14 days. The longer the better to give your stomach a chance to relax. I can drink my Protein shakes per my doctor. I freeze them for 40-45 and make the ice cold taste great.

I'm on 5 days since band on Aug 6 and I feel great. No more pain anywhere and no more vicodin.

Best wishes on your recovery

      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.

      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!
