After a long week today I'm feeling much better the gas pain was so much i was regretting my surgery because of that excruciating pain not to sound too dramatic but it hurt :( So a friend of my fathers who has the lap band recommended some pills for gas and they were amazing took 2 pills and right away felt better . I went in for my post up yesterday it was suppose to be today but since i wasn't feeling good went in a day before i am happy to say I'm 20 lbs down :) they removed liquid from my band hade about a 1/4 cc they said prob thats why i hade discomfort and did a X-ray they seen that I'm still very swollen and that i am still full of gas overall I'm doing better and hade my first meal today since 3 weeks i was very afraid to eat i ate slow and got satisfied fast so i guess I'm doing good thank God.

      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?

        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.
