Best wishes and good luck with surgery. The pain meds will take care of any discomfort. Follow doctors post surgery advice and take pain meds as directed. Have a heating pad ready to help alleviate any gas. I was banded on Aug 6 and had a relatively easy post surgery. I drove my car the next day and 2 days after surgery I attended a weight reduction meeting at my nearby hospital. SIP plenty of Water.

Keep the faith

Everything happened so fast for me I didn't have time to really take it all in and be nervous. I had mine done at a private clinic.........They took me in at 745 and I was on the operating table by 8 and home by noon. I had no pain but took pain killers for 24hrs just in case. Sipped alot of Water, took my gasx and slept with my heating pad. It was just a haze for me the first 24hrs as you are still pretty medicated. You will do just fine.

      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.
