More than one procedure



Recommended Posts

I have been talking to my hubby about being banded and he keeps asking me it I can commit to the new diet. I say definitely. I have quite a few questions. Ok. I'm 26 230lbs and 5'2". Anyone around the same size as me get banded?? How long were you in the hospital? How long is recoop time? How long are you on liquids? Have you ever had more than one procedure done at one time. I'm wanting my tubes tied and I was wondering if anyone had that done and banding at the same time?

Just curious to why you would want your tubes tied so young. Do you already have children? But as far as your question I don't believe any doctor would opt for that. That would involve two different types of surgeons and the hospital would want to have money for two times. I may be wrong but I don't think so because its all about how much money they can get from us.

Hello

I am 5'2 and a half, and weighed 224 pounds. The doc did a hiatal hernia repair at the same time. I had the procedure done at a clinic rather than a hospital. I arrived at noon, they did the surgery at 1:15 and I left the clinic at 4:00. That was a wednesday. I felt rough the rest of that day, and on Thursday. By friday I was feeling well enough to go to the spa for a mani and pedi. By Saturday I was driving. By Tuesday I was 100% back to normal.

I would wait to get my tube tied, i did get it done when i was 27, and now to get it undone they want $6000 cash. If i had to go back i would still get a shot in the butt (birth control).

      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.

        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!
