Recommended Posts

Hi everyone i finally got my band on April 30th. I got to come home May 1st with a 102 fever:sick . The Doc said it was from me being put to sleep. That my lungs just needed a little exercise. And just as he said I started walking and useing a breathing treatment and i have not had a fever higher than 99.2 since. Dr. Lin from Atlanta Ga was the greatest. Did anyone else has this problem with the fever or did any of you have diarrea after your surgery.

Thank

Stacy:p

Hi Katie nice to meet you. I really did like Dr. Lin. Did you also have yours done at crawford long hospital? I live in Cartersville Ga. Were do you live? I hope somewhere near by so we can be band buddies LOL. I'm 32 Wife and mother of one. My little girl is wonderful she is four going on sixteen or so she thinks HA HA. My little girl and my husband are the whole reason i did this. Because i want to live life with them not just sit back and watch them. I'm 5'8" starting weight 243lbs and now as of this morning i was 227lbs my BMI was 36.8. And i really needed to do this why i was young enough to loss some of the ricks of surgery. I have not had my band long but i already know i made the right choice for me!!!please keep in touch need all the support i can get.

I was banded on Tuesday, but fortunately didn't have any Nausea, I did have a some liquid BMs the 2nd day, but other than that, no GI problems. I also have some shoulder pain off and on also, but nothing plain tylenol.

Good luck on your journey!

      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!
