I'm banded!!!

My surgery was scheduled for 6:30am yesterday morning I had to be at the surgery center at 5:30am. Everything went well, I was released and on my way home by 9am.

As they began the surgery they discovered I had a Hiatal Hernia and a small cyst on my stomach, they repaired the heria and sent the cyst off to the lab, I sure it will be fine. I have a lot of gas pain so I'm doing a bit of walking to help with that. I haven't experianced much pain so far, thank goodness for pain medicine.

Over all I'm feeling great!!!

Patti, congrats on the surgery!! Good to see you in high spirits. Do you know if you can take an antacid (for gas) the week following surgery? :) Heather

You can try the gas-x strips.. since you can't have pills, but for me, walking was the most effective. The strips didn't do much. It's not really gas.. it's the air they use to blow up your stomach during surgery.

My Doctor has suggested Gas X Strips, that's what I'm using and it seems to be working well.

      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!

        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!
