Those types of questions) This was my first time having surgery so of course i was nervous, the docs could tell i was... i was wheeled into the surgery room then told to get on to the the surgery table... it was little but i got up there with no problem... the nurses and doctors already in there where getting ready... i just remember the kool funny guy Tim and his assistant Becky... very nice people... then i remember them putting a mask on me and that was it...lol then they kept telling me to wake up wake up... then i remember seeing my mom.. after that i dont remember anything lol... PAIN wise i only had it when i moved but it didnt hurt hurt but it was just wasnt comfortable... i stayed over night and got out yesterday(10/09/2009) in the evening time.. i have these moments where i get a little dizzy but i could still see and when i walk i hummm alot lol idk y i just do... i havent had any pain medication since i left the hospital but i just wanted to know when is all the pain suppose to go away im just scared when i go back to school on tuesday im going to have all this pain, when im moving..

My pain has come and gone but hasn't been too bad - truthfully. I am scheduled to go back to school (teacher-librarian) on Tuesday. I think I'll be okay.

Walk - walk - walk! When I get to hurting - I get up and walk around the house.

Hi there,

I was banded on 10/8 as well, and today was my first day back at work. I was pretty out of it - I still feel foggy from the anesthesia, I think! My pain is pretty much gone, other than the shoulder pain from the gas. That crept up on me today and by 2:00 I was pretty uncomfortable. Glad to be home now!

      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!
