Yay! I'm happy I'm down 4 lbs this week! Still in pain since banded on 2/19/13. But getting Better!

That's 10 days, how bad is the pain? My plans are to have my surgery on a Thursday and go back to work (office mainly sitting) on Monday. They told me when i schedule my appt that I should be able to go to work without any problems as long as i dont lift anything heavy.

Everyone heals differently while some people can resume "normal" life I couldn't for at least two weeks and when I went to work I still had times where I left early in the third week. Just don't over do it and listen to your body is my best advice. I think I was just one of the complicated cases where things just didn't go as planned. Good luck!

I have a very light duty job and I planned on going back after two weeks and still couldn't. I had to take three more days. Don't over do it, you will regret it! Take care of your body!

I was banded 2/20/13 and I went back to work (office job sitting) the next Tuesday. They told me that as long as I wasn't lifting I would be fine. The first day back I got really tired but since then I have felt 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.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?
