April Dates



Recommended Posts

Hey Lou! Glad to hear your doing well...im freaking out only 2 more days for me. So far what do u feel is diff fron when u had the band surgery? Pain? Hunger? Etc

Reflux is gone so far. I'm able to drink Water in the morning... with the band I would throw up anything including water before noon. I'm still only five days post op and on liquids only. I would have a better idea when I move to regular foods.... I had a lot of gas pain but I think I walked it off today at the mall. I had to sit a few times and burped a lot. My incisions are starting to itch. When I got the band, the cut a nerve causing my left leg to go numb. I think they cut it again, because they used most of the same incision sites. My leg feels more numb than before... As far as hunger. I'm not hungry but am having a lot of head hunger. I still want the foods, but am not physically hungry. With the band I was starving all the time so that is a big difference. Hope this helps!

Lol. I had a lot more pain after the band. The only pain I'm having is really swelling and gas pain. With the band, my actual stomach hurt. I had horrible pain with drinking even tiny sips of clear liquid would make me scream out from chest pain. The bypass has been a breeze in comparison to the surgery to get the band.

Post op day 3 is a lot better than day 2. I haven't had any pain meds today. I am still sore around a couple incisions. I was able to eat most of my Breakfast, now I just got to focus on Water. I have a awful headache today. Burping hurts also.

      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?
