PS. Do you think I need to stay in Hotel close by hospital the night of my surgery, or travel home since the next day will probably be worse??? The town I live in does not offer lap band, so I wonder if there are complications, should I be in that town??????????Thanks

You don't get to be overnight in Hosp?

I don't know I had a two hour drive and it was next day. I was so nauseated that I couldn't have made it the same day. But, you may not be like me (I also had my gallbladder out). What kind of car do you have if it's low to the ground rent another one van or suv that sit's up hirer. My port area has hurt so bad that I couldn't twist or sit on low surfaces, let alone get up fom one. Good Luck.

I did not have to stay in the hospital over night I was teher from 5.00am untill 5.30 pm It was a long day

I am doing OK

Today I actually did stuff around my house that has been long forgotten about I am score tonight but that is my own fault for over doing it.

Today I felt so much better and I could not sit down any longer

I am a stay at home mom so I will not be returning to work

My doctor said that he wante dme off work for 2 weeks and that he will write a letter saying that for my employer I looked at my husband and asked him if he thought it would help for me to get a 2 week break he just laughed.

Good luck at returning to work

      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.
