Finally on the post op side



Recommended Posts

Haven't really been posting much, but just wanted everyone to know I'm finally on the other side. Banded 4/26, so 9 days post op. I feel fantastic! One day of pain Meds, and no gas pains! I feel lucky lol

I'm currently on soft foods and everything is going amazingly. The first day I scolded myself for doing this to myself lol but as I got better I knew this was the right choice! Can't wait till I'm able to get some jogging in and lift things, post op appt is on the 17 of May..

sure that would be cool. whats ur email? I could have went back to work but my surgeon doesnt recommend anything less then the 2 weeks but I have been fine only the first few days but after no problems. Weight not moving though and I am walking, but losing inches I guess since I can fit stuff. I am going to the dollar store buy a measurement tape since the scale has stopped moving. Keep me posted on how you are doing

      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!
