Good moring all! I am a new poster (although I have been lurking here for awhile). After much thought and investigation, I had my band put on Monday, August 4th! It hurts but is getting much better daily (even by the hour). I did not stay in hospital, and was able to sleep in my own bed that first night. I have been trying to stick to the liquid diet (mostly Isopure), but sometimes it is difficult. Getting hungry (I think) As someone else stated here.....hungry and full at the same time....I know what that is! Can't wait to progress to the next stage. I also feel SO tired! I hope that changes as I was planning on going in to work tomorrow for a few hours. I also hope all this is worth it. I hate feeling like this!:thumbup:

I was also recently banded last Thursday July 31st. I just returned to work yesterday and I'm still a little sore even though it is much better. I wouldn't try to rush back to work. I have a desk job and I was still completely wiped out yesterday. It's funny that you mentioned being full and hungry at the same time. Some of it is "head hunger" but I have had times where I can feel my stomach growling but at the same time I don't want anything else to eat because I already feel full. Guess that'll be one of the things to get used to.

      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!
