Activity 2 months post-op?



Recommended Posts

So I'm wondering what things are like 2 months out... I'm sure it's different for everyone, but my husband and I have a trip planned for the 1st / 2nd weeks in December, and I'm getting banded October 1. We'll be scuba diving...and I'm a little worried... just wondered what others' experiences have been like...and any divers out there???

Thanks much,

Laura ;-)

Yes- I dive. Just make sure you are more than healed with all of the insicions. Which you should be. You will more than likely not be filled by than & should be great. Just make sure you have shakes available while on vacation just incase you get the jitters and I wouldn't over do anything. Most important have someone help you on & off with the tank always. I have heard of no conflicts with being banded & diving. It was one of my first questions prior to being banded, but I have yet to go diving. Have a great time & let me know how things go & if you felt any pressure when going a little deeper. Have fun- I'm jealous;0)

Yup, make sure your inscisions are completely healed.

Don't expect to be at the same activity level you had before you were banded. EXPECT MORE!!!!! If you are like me, you will have more energy, even after a minimal weight loss.

I was back to normal, possibly even better than normal, two months out. You'll have a blast :)

Like the others said though, just make sure your incisions are healed up.

Thanks for your help, to all!

      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!
