Not a bad night. Slept on my very comfy couch pretty much sitting up. Side sleeping was too uncomfortable. I think I'll be fine sleeping in bed tonight on my back. Got up this morning all full of energy, broom swept the floors, unloaded the dishwasher, fed and watered the dogs, wiped down the kitchen counters and did a bit of light dusting:-) Now gonna relax a bit a have my morning Protein shake.-) I have only taken one dose of children's liquid Tylenol since getting home yesterday afternoon. No gas pains, as of yet. I have heard others getting them later post-op. Minimal pain at port site. Plan on getting a shower and venturing out for a bit later. Praying that this continues ...... Hope everyone else that got banded with me yesterday is doing as well or better!!

I am 5 days out. I got out of the house for the first time today. I have been taking it easy. I have had a lot of gas pain and some discomfort from the surgery but all in all have been doing good. I am normally the type that is back to to work 2 days after a surgery, but this one I am taking my time and making sure I am following what I should be doing. Good luck!

      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!
