5 days post-op!



Recommended Posts

Hello, all!

Surgery was last Tuesday, and I'm doing quite well, I think. Minimal pain, except for gas and bloating. Don't want to eat as much as what is on the daily food intake list. And, almost back to the weight I was the day before surgery. My first follow-up is Wednesday.

Tomorrow I go back to work, but on an abbreviated schedule. The boss is out on vacation, so I can go in for as little as I can tolerate, with his permission. I'm not looking forward to it, because I still feel like I have too little energy. Better every day, but still tired a lot.

I've quickly learned to sip my Water and Protein Drinks :teeth_smile:. Gas pain is not fun!

Congrats on getting banded!!

And before you know it the gas pain will be gone. I hear walking around and using gas X helps.... I was one of the fortunate ones who didn't experience any pain from gas.

Hope work goes well. Take it easy.

Good luck and take care!

Yay! Congratulations! I'm glad everything went well for you. It honestly will soon become a distant memory. I know I have to think about it for a minute to remember and it's only been 6 months. The excitement of the weight loss journey way overshadows that pain for me. Good luck with work.

      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!
