Hello, my name is Connie I had the band (over my 13yrs ago bypass) on 2/27/13, I would really like to have someone to talk to on a daily basis if you are interested. I live in New Jersey. What are your questions?

Congratulations on getting banded :)

my surgery was on the 5th, I feel great but once in awhile my incisions sting a little and my port will feel tender, bruised or kinda sting, I believe this is totally normal even now for me 11 days out, but if your worried you can call your DR. thats what there for and, their used to answering questions, I called mine a few days ago :wub: . Good luck!

I was banded on the 11th also. My port incision is sore too. In fact, I still am considerably sore. I am glad I work from home because I would have never made it back to work on time.

Your port area will be sore for a while. Just take it easy. It bugged me for a month and then one day it just stopped and I could sleep on that side again. Its stitched into the muscle, so it will hurt until its not as irritated.

I was banded 3/25/13 by week four you won't feel your band at all. Right now slow your activity down your still healing on the inside.

      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!
