Up All Night???



Recommended Posts

Hi Friends!

I'm being banded at 6:30 AM tomorrow (Thursday), and I'm so nervous I know I won't sleep tonight!! I didn't have to start the liquid diet until today, and I have a horrible headache and I'm STARVED! Will I feel like this for the next 3 weeks?? How do you handle it???

I will defer on the how to cope with it to the bandsters proper.

Good luck tomorrow and try and relax as much as you can. I was a nervous wreck for my wife when she had it done but it will pass.

Actually, for the first week or so after surgery, you will probably find that you really don't have much of an appetite at all. At least, I didn't. The headache will pass.

Good luck with your surgery and let us know how you do.

Nope wasn't hungry for at least a week...then a little clear broth was WONDERFUL!!!

      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?
