I had my lap band on March 30, 2009..I am just out of the hospital since yesterday. I feel really good, with a slight bit of discomfort qand I am taking Tylenol Extra Strenght for pain. I know this sounds silly, but I feel funny feeling too good. Has anyone else had a good track record feeling so good after surgery? I would love to know!

Hey congrats on getting your band done! Glad you are doing good. Maybe you have really good meds? lol. I felt good I was just really sore and couldn't get comfortable. I wasn't in too much pain. The discomfort only lasted 3-4 days and I was back to normal.

I would say your one of the lucky ones. I too have had no issues thus far. (knock on wood) About the only thing was the lack of energy for the first 6 weeks. But my body got use to it and I started exercising which made me feel like a million bucks. Weight loss has been steady and fast. I am getting a fill tomorrow to help get the last lbs off. (my goal weight is my doctors goal weight, which I think is really low and wont happen since I am gaining muscle) Still losing but slower at this point. Before surgery I never exercised and now I can run 5 miles on a treadmill non-stop at 6mph. So yes I am feeling great and loving life. Good luck, eat healthy and often, and exercise:biggrin:.

Thats great! Congrats! I feel the same, very minimal pain. I was banded on the 27th and the only real pain I feel is tenderness where my 6 incissions are. Other than that, I am pretty much back to normal. Congrats & good luck!

      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!
