Though It was a Slippage but instead



Recommended Posts

it was my GallBladder:hurt and it was HUGE:eek: I spent about 14 hours in the ER and then was sch. for a 3pm surg. that got bumped a couple of times. But its all over with now and I'm on the way to recovery......1 sm step at a time. But of course I had to have a total unfil just when I had gotten to my sweet spot a couple of months ago.

Please keep me in your thought a prayers that I will be back on the road to a speedy recovery and don't have a relapse and gain any weight back.

TIA

I'm glad you're on the road to recovery! Not to trivialize what you went through, but I'm glad it was your gall bladder and not a band slippage! In some cases, slips can't be fixed and the doctor removes the band and either makes you wait 6 months for another band surgery or tells you that you can't be rebanded at all. Hope you feel better soon!

Glad to hear the band is OK. I've finally just reached that stage where it is working. Would hate to have to go through anything to stop it now. Good Luck to you, glad to hear you're on the mend.

That's the way I felt. Much better in the long run if I had to have a choice of course.

      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!
