One Week Down!!



Recommended Posts

Hey all,

I know I don't post much here, but I wanted to let you all know that I had my surgery one week ago today!! I have lost two pounds, but that's not really my concern right now. I saw the surgeon and got my first fill appt. He said everything was looking good. Haven't been hungry in the slightest, but I have had some pain in my left shoulder.

I'm drinking sugar-free Carnation instant Breakfast for my Protein and am on full liquids for another week.

Thanks for all the info on this site, it has been great!

Hi Jacee,

Glad to know you're doing well. I drink the same Carnation drink and I love it compared to the Protein Drinks my husband drinks when he's working out.

Today is day 7 for me...and I actually got hungry yesterday. freaked me out...maybe i'm not taking in enough fluids.

keep up the good work!

Yeah, I was banded April 3, I went through that pain for 2 weeks...It's gas, and my doctor told me that I had to walk it off...I also went and got some Gas Relief over the counter and that still didn't work...So my doctor told me that it wasn't that type of gas, it was the gas they use during surgery and it needed to come out...But that pain hurts like hell

      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?
