Well I am officially a bandster as of yesterday. I had to stay over in the hospital though because he nicked my spleen. I am doing very well I think although I am very sore.

No major pain from gas at all, thank god, I have been able to walk alot and I think I am sore from that. Also am coughing and that is not helping much. I have to say I am not hungry at all.

I am thrilled to have this part over and to get on the road to healing.

My throat is slightly sore from the tube down my throat. But other than that and my port sight I am not too bad.

Hope everyone else is doing well that has been banded already this month and good luck to those still waiting.:clap2::clap2::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.

      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!
