Banded yesterday - 24th Feb



Recommended Posts

Hi Guys,

I was banded yesterday and surprisingly feel quite well. My incisions dont hurt that much and I am getting lots of liquid down. Just a lot of gas pain, Ive been taking the advice of the forum and walking alot. Is there anything else I can do?

Im very excited about this journey and cant wait to start loosing and look fabulous.

congratulations! for gas pains--people have said that walking around as much as possible reduces them.

for me--i took painkiller until i was SURE i didn't need it any longer. i didn't deprive myself--and i slept alot--and healed. by the 4th day--i went outdoors, in freezing cold weather--to get my nails done-that was exhausting--but i managed it.

hope you have an easy recovery!

I am not banded yet, but I plan on following girlinnyc advice. Lots of pain meds. I had a lap surgery years ago and remember the "gas" setteling in my collar bones and whenever I turned my head "OUCH". I also plan on walking as much as possible.

Congratulation and the best of success.

Thanks Guys. Came out of hospital this morning and went for a walk this afternoon, that definitely helped.

Im amazed at how ok I actually feel. Gas and a bit of dizzyness is all really.

Girlinnyc, I have only taken one pain killer since I left the hospital for my shoulder pain. Ill definitely take some tonight though so I sleep all the way through.

The thing that is irritating me the most is how bloated I feel. I look about 9 months pregnant.

Hi Guys,

Thank you for the responses. Im feeling pretty good, still a little gas pain but nothing to cause too much discomfort.

Ive lost 4kgs which I am stoked about :clap2: - I hope I dont put it back on once I get off liquids.

How is everyone else doing?

      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!
