I was banded the same day as Fairydust and by the same doctor. We were two doors away from one another in the ward. She did very well and we spent quite alot of time visiting back and forth. I havent yet heard from her since returning home but I can assure you that when I checked out yesterday she was doing well. We both agreed that the gas pains seemed to be the worst part. I'm sure she'll be on very soon to let you know her own experience.

Hiya everyone, thanls for thinking of me! I am doing ok, I am little scared of drinking too much but have been reassured that I can't! The gas pains are the worst part of it, my incisions are sore but not really enough to need pain medication and that doesn't help with the gas anyway! I am still trying to find a comfy position in bed but everyday is better so I am hoping I will get over it quickly. If anyone wants to ask me anything feel free. Speak soon xxx

Glad you are doing okay, sweetie. Some of the gas seems to escaped last night and it made a huge differene. I have found that I can now get by one the one painkiller (nasty stuff). I agree it gets easier by the day but still quite a huge challenge. I'm finding it hard to get all my Protein units in and to drink enough since I have to drink so slowly. One thing I find utterly ross is this horrible taste in my mouth no matter how much I brush. I've lost three pounds since I came home but still havent been able to use the loo (#2) properly. How are you??

I'm doing well, the gas is moving but still quite puffed out!! I have literally only just managed to go for a #2!! I felt like I had won the lottery, but it was because I had upped the amount I had been drinking. It is really hard to get the Protein in but I am just taking it slow and hopefully will get it in. It has taken me about 45 mins to drink my shake this morning-which is faster than yesterday!! The only thing I am not sure about is follow up checks, do they send us details? When do we need out incisions checked?? No-one has told me anything!! And I didn't get my Vitamins, did you get yours?? I am gonna give you a call later to see how you are anyway so we can have a proper catch up!

I went and sat on the beach for an hour yesterday while it was sunny, reckon it did me a lot of good!!

Congratulations to both of you, you sound like your both doing really well !!. The reason for not being able to go to the loo is because of the pain killers but that will go, each day does get easier and the restriction you both are feeling now is down to swelling. Were you both NHS banded ? Me & my sister got a follow appointment through the post, for a follow up appointment at the 6 weeks mark. As for Vitamins my dietician recommends just a over the counter 1 a day Vitamin as that is enough.

Any way nice to hear that your both doing ok.

We both went privately with the Healthier Weight Centre. I actually didnt have anyone but that nurse we didnt like discharge me, so not Vitamins here either. I picked up some chewable multis from Boots.

I'm trying to drink more Water too and will try later to choke down some prune juice.< /p>

I'm finding it hard to eat everything too. If I drink too fast I get a horrible cramp in my chest so it takes a while.Water seems to do down quite normally though.

I've lost two more pounds since coming home. Will be around all day so will talk to you later xx Brittany

      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!
