Just got banded yesterday



Recommended Posts

Yesterday was my banding. Got to the hospital at 6am to prep and all that. Surgery went well. It took awhile for the anesthesia to completely ware off, so I didn't get out of there until after 2pm. The rest of the day at home was pretty much spent sleeping. I got nauseous once after using my spirometer.

Today has been a lot better. I have been really sore in the midsection but haven't had any nausea. I look forward to sharing the rest of my journey with everyone here as well as learning a lot from you all, on living with the band.

Feel free to message and befriend me.

Yea, it's good to take it easy the first day or two, and take the pain medicine rolleyes.gif By day 3 I was stir crazy and had to get out of the house. I took the week off, but ran errands to the mall, etc by day 3.

      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!
