Hello everyone, I was banded on Monday June 2nd, and am doing very well !! I also had a hernia repair at the same time (that was the worst part of this whole thing)!! My tummy has a big cut down the middle and the sutures are starting to itch :Dancing_wub:, I guess thats a good sign:smile:. I go to the doctor next week to get them removed and also a trip to the dietician. I am eating soft, mushy, foods in very small amounts and feel fine with that. I am supposed to be doing mostly liquids, BUT, I needed some real FOOD!! I can't live on broth and cream of crap Soup :( !!!, and I don't care if the dietician likes it or not :(. I have eaten some cottage cheese, scrambled egg, tuna w/ a dab of mayo, refried Beans, and some mushy rice crispies. All with no problem. I just wanted to check in and wish everyone else the best of luck on their journey and best wishes for a speedy recovery with the surgery... Theresa P

I too was scheduled for June 2nd, but at the last minute, the doctors decided that my thyroid levels were too high. I now have to see an endocrinologist and get signed off there. The surgeon swears that I won't have to wait another 2-3 months to get back on his schedule. Jeez...it took 4 months to get on his schedule the first time. I then found out that I can't get in to see the specialist until June 19th, so I figured what the heck. I went to Vegas.

I am soooo bummed.

Hi June Bandsters, I was banded on June and also and would like to hear how you all are doing. I started off great, but this past week I was overeating again. I dont feel the restiction anymore, probable because the swelling is down. I have had alot of incredible stress latley and I started eating because of it.Anyway I need support from those who are at the same level of time as me. Please letme know how people are doing and what they are eating aand dealing with the head games. Mary C

      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.
