I can't wait to have this over with

how long did it take for you to get to eat regular food again

and is there anything for me to watch out for that might cause pain, PBs or discomfort??

best of luck to you!

check with your doctor on when you can progress through the food stages - every doctor is different.

remember when you get to solids to CHEW CHEW CHEW and eat slowly.

thanks folks with all the congrats and well wishes.. and defiantly prayers

All in all it was smooth sailing

at least my Dr's part!

but...before you go NPO the night before

DRINK YOUR Water

it's was 11:30PM before I got home and was almost admitted :wink2:

because I couldn't pee before I left..

Doc was called several times and I ended up with a french foley

one time drainage system..:frown:

anyway the Doc said that if I didn't pee before 7am at home(an hours and a half ago)

that I was to immediately call him:sad:

I did call him to tell him I drank a half gallon of Water between 11:35PM until 3am and

went 4 times before the call time of 7am :thumbup:

so DRINK YOUR WATER a LOT of it

before you go NPO for the band

      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!
