Just Banded this Week



Recommended Posts

I was just banded on 8/4/2009... I am feeling sore and have some serious gas but happy that I am banded. I am not hungry at all and I hope to stay this way. I was banded by Dr. Antonetti. Did anyone else get banded this month already? How are you all feeling?

Hi gabrielle I got banded on the third, and yes I am a little bit sore! I rather stand than sit, and I have to lay in one certain position so it doesn't hurt...but the pain is not tooo bad. My gas is getting better, I've been taking Gas-x and Tums....I have to buy pepcid which I heard is good also. I have not been hungry at alllll...I force myself to drink the shakes and a little Jello. I mix my Protein powder with 4 oz of skim milk and it takes me about half an hour or so to drink it.

Well keep in touch, since we have close band dates we can compare how we feel!!:sneaky:

      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'. ???

      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!
