Banded June 5th



Recommended Posts

Friday I had surgery, and went well for the most part. My first surgery ever, and I woke up pretty freaked out. I guess my liver was a little big, so it took a little longer. I didn't get to talk to my surgeon afterwards because he had another surgery, and I was released before he was done, but he did talk to my husband. Yesterday we had to drive 3 hours to get home, and that was rough. Today would have been a much better day to drive home, because I am not as sore. I am still sore today, mostly the gas I think. My incesions only hurt when I get up and down. My stomach is still a little swollen, not sure if I should be worried about that or not. I have never had any kind of surgery, so not sure what to expect really. I got to have some cream of wheat today so that was really nice. I am really happy I had this done even though I am not very comfortable right now.

Bandlandia!! YEA!!! Congrats!!

I hear the swollen stomach is normal, it's just the gas they filled you up with.

Yay! Glad it went well. bummer you had to drive so far and be sore.

My surgeon wants me to stay overnight just cuz I'm from "far away" [colo springs instead of south denver area ---- but it's only an hour!]

      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?
