Getting banded on Monday 2/25!!



Recommended Posts

Hey there!

I thought it was great that there was a thread out there for people getting banded this month.

I am very excited about the surgery - but not sure what to expect, or how I will feel afterwards.

For anyone that has gotten banded already this month - how did you feel physically right after your surgery and the week following?

I would like to know what I am about to feel....:confused2:

Hey Austin

In my signature below there is a link to my blog. It will take you through my entire journey and everything I felt, etc. It will give you an idea of what to expect.

Good luck and welcome to the Double V's!

Hi Austin..

I'm 15 days post-op and feel fantastic. I had the typical gas discomfort for a couple days after surgery but that went away with walking and Gas X strips. One week of Clear liquids was a nusiance but now I've graduated to "mushies" and feel great!! I was physically and mentally ready for this journey. So, stick to your pre/post op diet and dr.'s instructions and embrace this wonderful gift we have given ourselves. You will do great!!

Good luck!!

Amy

      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'. ???

      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!
