Day 2 post-op, and so far it continues to be a cake walk! I feel remarkably well. Shoot, I've had menstrual cramps that were worse than this ... but then again, I am taking some good pain meds. ;)

Jill, you're next! :P

I continue to do really well. I'm still very bloated. I don't know how much of this is swelling or surgical gas? Regardless, I'm feeling good!

I hope so!!!

Dr B has all my paperwork and I was told my file is on his desk for review and once he signs off on it, the office sends it in to UHC.

I hope its soon.

The project I am on at the bank is heading in to overdrive and I need to know when my "vacation" will be. :P

How's your stomach feeling?

I'm still really bloated, but I'm feeling good! Localized tenderness is the only pain I have. My incisions are starting to itch, a good sign of healing. I went out for a little while this afernoon, and did fine. I'm well on my way to recovery. :)

I cannot get over how great I feel! The bloat is starting to come down, and my weight with it. I'm actually starting to feel hungry :hungry: again, and can feel my band and port! :clap2: I'm so excited about the future with my band; for the first time in a very long time I truly believe I will be healthy again.

I want to say Thank You to all of my LBT friends and my family for the awesome support you've given me during this journey! :cool: It's been a long time coming, and without you I might have given up the fight!

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!

      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.
