I'm banded!!!! Wow!



Recommended Posts

Good Afternoon Peps!

I am banded~ It wasn't so bad. The worst part was the IV and the gas in my left shoulder. I am a tiny bit sore and I imagine it will get worse tomorrow. I just took my first dose of liquid Vicodin. I am going to try to take a nap in a few minutes. That hospital sleep is not the best. My house is quiet. The hubby is outside messing with his bike and my kids are safe, elsewhere. They will be spending a few nights at my moms! Thank God for her. I could not imagine life without her.....

I was finished at around 10:10am and in recovery for 1 1/2 hours. Next I did the x-ray.... Then Dr Fisher came about 12:40pm and discussed the procedure with me. I had a hernea that he repaired/removed. Didn't know! I was released at 1:00pm and home at 2:00pm. I am still reeling and cant believe it's done!

Thanks for all the support! I will check in later.redface.gif

      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!
