Anyone Getting Banded In September?



Recommended Posts

As previously said... my computer freezes EVERY time I try... the app isn't conducive to pasting the list. I apologize. I have it updated.... I just can't post it. If someone wants to hijack it & run feel free.

I just got banded the 7th of sept and was not ready for the post op pain! I thought it was like day surgery and recovery would be quick, today is day 2 after surgery and I was able to go walking at the park to try and ease the gas pains, gas x strips and Protein shakes!!! I guess no pain no gain!! I just have to remember in doing this for me!!!!!! I'll get there!!!

I'm new but I'm scheduled for september 21st.... I'm on day 3 of pre op diet and lost 9 lb already! I'm so glad there is a forum .. Its nice having people to talk to that are going through the same thing!

I am also scheduled for the 21st, so nervous about it but can't wait! My doctor has not put me on a liquid diet at all, not sure why.

      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!
