Due this week to be banded



Recommended Posts

hey vcompton...I was also done by Dr. Pinnar. Are you going to go to any of the support meetings?

Hope you are feeling much better. I was actually off the hydrocodene a couple days after the surgery, although I found sleeping on my back with an ice pack helped.

PM me if you'd like to get together or if you are going to any of the meetings. :)[/quote

Hi, sorry I very seldom get on this site...I just saw this message today... I have not been to any meetings....Did you have yours done by Robert Pinnar.... (the father) I did and they were great.... I feel good...I have lost like 30 pounds since Oct 12th...and could have lost more but I asked to prolong the first fill until another week...I had some discomfort in the mornings...That has gone away now...How about you....? When did you get banded...I have not been to any meetings yet.... Have you...My name is Vicki... :clap2:

      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!
