Glad you are trying again. I went back to work next day but I work from home I felt like I could have taken 3 days off and would not have suffered as much. Everyone is different.

You will hear good and bad about all the weight lost surgery. I am 8 days postop and have lost 13 pounds and am on no insulin as of right now. The reason I chose the lap band was like I am sure many people would have to agree is I did not want my insides rearranged. This is the best thing I could have done for myself. I also went back to work after 2 days but did tire out by the end of the day. My job does not require any physical labor.

I am 8 days myself I had a lot of back pain, I used the pain meds a couple days. But I was able to burb hours after surgery. A heating pad and Tylenol helped with the back pain. Let me share that from 2 week pre op diet until now I am 27 lbs lost. I only have 1 chin and when I look down I see my feet. I know it's going to slow down but I've blown away my 1st two goals in a week. Keep it up and follow your diet, the weak are self defeated and the strong leave a better looking corpse in the end. :-)

      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!
