Hi Chris from another Buckeye Bandster! I wish you all the best in your surgery. Come drop in sometime on the Ohio Forum group thread under USA Local Support Groups.

Hi Chris!! I was banded last Monday and feel pretty good!!! my advise to you is get up and walk at the hospital as soon as you feel you can. The sooner you get moving the better!!! also take chapstick and loose clothes to go home in!! Be patient with yourself -- it took longer than i thought to start feeling back to normal, but 1 week out and i walked around the block today and finally didn't look like an old lady-- :cool2:

Good luck and let us know how you did!!

Hi Chris - Tomorrow is my big day too! I'm getting nervous, not so much of the surgery but about what this means for the rest of my life. I'm sure I'm ready but I think it's probably just normal to have second thoughts at this moment. I don't want to back out; I would just like to be about 6 weeks out and working the band. Good luck to both of us. Simon

      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!
