Take 2...The Second Time Around-Band Replacement



Recommended Posts

Today is day 2 post op of my band replacement and hiatial hernia repair. I was originally banded October 2010 but due to excessive vomiting and "tight" issues I decided to do a "do-over" based on dr recommendations. I lost 30 lbs the 1st go round. Hoping to accomplish 70 lbs this time!

I was released from hospital today after my upper GI shows all went well. I'm a little sore but not hurting to bad. Definitely need to see progress this time around. My 1st time I had a lot of issues which made me think I had a slip early on and wasn't accurately diagnosed. I trust my Doctor and have confidence in him just wonder if this should have been repaired some time ago.

Making a commitment to myself right now to eat better and stick to liquids as long as possible. Definitely looking for support from those who had to do a replacement 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.

        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.

      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!
