Banded 2 days ago



Recommended Posts

Greetings all.

Home from hospital yesterday, never so happy to pass gas in my life, even wife didn't mind when she saw the level of pain I was having. (scared the dog).

Anybody who says this is the "easy way out" will receive a prompt ass-kicking, as soon as I feel up to it.

You can read about, talk to people, listen to Doctors, but until you do it yourself, nobody knows anything.

Clears until Tuesday, see doc next friday.

How long did it take your incisions to heal?

Jabba, I'm right there with ya' I was done on the 18th. While it hasnt been a walk in the park I would have tgo say that it has gone pretty smooth for me. I think the shoulder pain was the worst, but even that got better by day 2. My girlfriend makes fun of me because I never really understood what bloating was. I used to tease her about it during her TOM, now I know bloatging and I dont like it all. Sorry ladies, i will never make fun again.

I was banded on 2/19 also ( I think that was your day?) It is my birthday present to myself. My birthday is tomorrow. I will be on a modified liquid diet for two more weeks and to be honest, I am starving! I go back to work tomorrow so I just hope that will keep my mind off food.< /p>

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!

      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.
