Congratulations. I was just like you...I thought that it was quite painful. I read on here that it wasn't much for others, but I guess I'm a big baby. I'm sending vibes to you for a speedy recovery!!! Good luck throughout your journey.

Congratulations and Good Luck!

My mom and I were banded 02/28 and it went great! My mom said she had hangnails that hurt more that the surgery...I on the other hand woke up to a rough time...I felt good until I got up to walk and then it hit me. I was litterally white as a ghost and could barely talk...ugh! But luckily, each day when I wake up, I'm so much better...it's been 4 days and I just have a dull pain at my port and a bit of left over gas...feeling good! (The pain pills help of course!) My mom said it's because I've never had surgery or kids before, so no point of reference....I think I'm being a baby too!

You're going to do great....just ride it out and follow your Dr's orders!

      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?
