Recommended Posts

When u had Breakfast and 5 hours later u havent eaten anything except Water, do u feel the band?, like there is somethin in ur stomach wrong?.. I am not talking about the feeling that ur stomach is making noises out of being hungry am talking about a feeling like there something like steel surrounding ur stomach, like literally u are feeling ur band?

I am just wondering..

thanks!!

I dont think I've ever gone five hours without eating, lol, but sometimes I think I can feel the band, especially if I have tensed up my abdomen, like when I'm doing planks, I can feel it in there after about 30 seconds, it doesnt hurt or anything but I'm aware of it. I can feel my port the same way in the same circumstances.

I go barely 5 hours w/o eating. I don't feel the band but I do feel the port. Someone I know does feel her band. I guess everyone's different. As long as it doesn't hurt, it's probably ok.

I feel like I can feel my band around my stomach too all the time. I have always thought I was hyper sensitive to my body with a low tolerance for pain. It doesn't bother me, because I elected to put it there. I would say that once a day or more I have a feeling of "I can feel it is there". Honestly, I expected it to be that way. How about you Gabi, have you always been hyper sensitive about your body?

      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.

      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!
