Take it one day at the time and you'll be fine. Every day may be different but you'll get there.

I had a day around then that I had no energy and could not get warm. I figured out that I probably had a low grade fever which is normal after surgery. My daughter said you can have withdrawal from the pain meds too. You may just be having an alergic reaction the the pain meds or maybe a withdrawal... Just a thought..

I was jittery 1 day post op (I just had my band placed Monday the 16th) and it was because my blood sugar was 45...normally it is in the 120's. Just an idea! How long til this GAS GOES AWAY!! I just want to burp and feel better!

HI Deb,

I haven't had my lapband surgery yet (12/9/09), but I have had 2 other surgeries earlier this year. I always feel totally "weird" for several days after the general anesthesia. Happy, then sad, then tired, then energy, etc. For me, I think it's like withdrawal symptoms or something. It does go away after a few days.

Many people with weight issues have fluctuations in Blood Sugar. It is usually referred to as Insulin Resistance, but it actually is a pre diabetic condition. Especially after a change in diet, if your normal sugars drop even a little, this can cause something that can be described as Jitters. I am diabetic, and I would not describe it that way, but you know everyone is different. I have a feeling that if you don't feel better after eating something or drinking something substancial, it is likely to be something else.

      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!
