Thanks everyone! Things went pretty well. I finally understand the "gas" issues that accompanies the pain! All the things that people said to do helped...i.e., walked, Gas-x, etc. I was also very naseuous yesterday but I have been taking meds for that too.

I slept in a recliner last night. Dosed on and off there and now I am up again to get my walk in.

I am so glad to have finally been banded. I am not hungry, at all. Just the opposite.....I am only able to get down just sips of Water and apple juice. Today I will take a few sips of a Protein shake....this may help my naseau as well.

Thanks for all the well wishes!

I start my pre-op diet later today. Still waiting for surgery to be approved. My surgery date is 2/19. I'm getting anxious about the approval process. However, I was told that the lady that does it almost always gets them approved.

Felicia, I'll pray for your approval. Let me know how it goes. What type of pre-op diet do you have? I had none, but I'm glad I self-imposed one, because I dropped 10 pounds before the surgery. You can do this!

Thanks Susan! I finally was approved. So, everything is good for Tuesday the 19th. Yay!!! My pre-op has been 2 Protein Shakes a day, 4 oz. of Protein from meat, poultry, cheese, etc, and as many non-starchy vegetables as I can handle. Veggies have become my new best friends! :D

I'm so happy for you. I see you've lost some weight. Congrats on that as well. I'm paving the way for you ;) I actually went out to lunch today to one of my favorite spots and had the chef puree his delicious seafood bisque. It was yummy. My first yummy food since the surgery.

      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!
