Recommended Posts

Just wanted to update eveybody. I have been banded for almost 24 hours! still in the hospital as my doctor has a overnight policy. but i feel great....well as great as you can when it feels like you've done a bajillion crunches! I didnt get nauseated and they totally stayed on top of my pain. i took a pain meds every 2-3 hours but only the lowest dosage. I wasn't scared....that was the part that amazed me. Every step of the way I was confident that this was MY day and MY choice and MY brand new beginning. Today I am feeling beyond blessed and just waiting to get the all clear to go home! I will take pics of my incisions (that are glued shut the steri stripped then bandaided) after I get home. have a great a day my friends and if this is your band birthday fear not you can do it!

congratulation :). Glad to hear you are doing well. I was banded on 4-16 and I have to say I'm feeling pretty good. Went back to work on Tuesday and all is well. Good luck on your journey.

      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.

      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!
