I have been nauseated, barfed, had hiccups and night coughs, chest pains, lump in throat--lots of fun. I had an endoscopy this morning. More GI tests will follow. Anyway,the band has not slipped despite all the nonsense. GO doctor says eat small meals 6 times a day, do not eat less than 3 hors before bed. I was told in past I may have esophageal spasms.

I've been banded about 5 years and have lost about 100 pounds. My band had to be replaced about 15 months ago because it had repositioned itself. (Note that I don't say it slipped because my surgeon assures me that his bands do no slip.)

Anyway, if you want to be buddies, it is OK with me. Apparently a lot of my problem is GERD. I'm taking new pills, generic proteomic.

      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!
