So happy to say my surgery was a success!!!! Had the surgery at about 7:45 am 3/23...woke up with slight pain but I was more cold than in pain. No pain in the incisions well just a little bit tender where the port is. No gas pains {knock on wood...lol}! I just get a little stiff if I sit to long, but other than that everything is going well! So happy about my decision!

Thats Awesome! I was also banded on the 23rd. I woke up wilth not alot of pain but very sick to my stomach. Was given nausia meds and by the time I was home the sickness went away but the gas kicked in! I was misarable till about 4 oclock yesterday. Today I am feeling great wilth only some slight pain where my port is and in one of the incisions. It has a bruise the size of a small orange. I have gone down 18 pounds since I started my liquid diet 2 two weeks ago. I know you know how I feel today! Like its the begining of a new day and a new way of life!!!!!!! Good luck to you!

My surgery was also 3/23! I was very sore when I woke up and I've had a small amount of gas pain - nothing too bad. The port incision is VERY sore. I overdid it today (shopping with my teenage daughter for a dress for a dance) and I am feeling it right now.

Still not hungry. I am a little in awe that the last time I ate was Tuesday afternoon and here it is - Friday night - and NOTHING.

I am having a hard time getting in my required amount of clear liquids! How are you two doing?

Congratulations ladies!! We're band sisters...lol

I'm not really hungry either! I stayed over night in the hospital they gave me chicken broth, sugar free Jello, sugar free popsisicles{so good} & apple juice. I was nauseas about an hr after I had to drink that contrast crap to make sure there were no leaks...I threw all that crap up...ugh! But I'm keeping my fingers crossed that I don't get the gas pains but I've been up walking around so hopefully they don't come!

      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!
