Hello April bandsters, I have a date of April 1st for my surgery. The only issue that I am having is that I am going on vacation May 16th to Dominican Republic for a week and I was wondering if it is to soon to fly and what type of restrictions will I have with food and alcohol intake. Is 6 weeks enough rest time and will I be able to go into pool that soon with the incisions??? My Dr. said I can wait till after I got back from vacation but that would have set me back into the summer and I didnt think I can wait any longer. Any suggestions from anyone???? Did anyone swim 5 to 6 weeks after surgery? very confused.

I'm to be banded on April 2. My doctor says no swimming or baths for 6 weeks post-op because of the risk of infection. I am actually travelling on April 18 and surgeon says that is fine so long as stick to my post-op diet.

      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!
