I am in Bandland!



Recommended Posts

It's over and I have officially made it to bandland! I had my surgery yesterday May 8th and I am totally excited. I managed to get up and walk around today. I did nap most of the afternnon because I took some drugs, otherwise I am doing well. I just took a shower and feel pretty good. I just wanted to thank everyone for the well wishes! I'll be keeping you all updated...:)

Thanks! I've been sipping and trying to get all my portein in. liquid diet orders are to drink 1 ounce every 15 minutes while awake. I do have some gas pains but it's going away. I'll try to walk today and I am going to drive to the store. This is pretty cool....

7 days with no driving? WOW! I would have been SOL, I went back to work less than a week after surgery! :D

They told me I could drive after 24 hours. I did go to the store about 3 miles away. I had to get my haircut this morning and my sister-in-law drove me. I do feel better but don't want to over do it!

      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'. ???

      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!
