Hi everyone,

So i got my band placed on june 3rd just last week, i flew to Mexico with my mom and we did it together, the surgery wasn't bad, i was pretty pain free for the most part. but now i am day 5 and i am hungry all the time, and when i am hungry i get a shotting pain up in my neck and shoulder, what is that about, but more so i am hungry, i would give anything to eat something besides broth and Jello, which i know something different will be coming soon, but i am just wondering was anyone else hungry alot after the surgery, also i have a lot of pain at my port site, has anyone else had that?

Thanks

Michelle

Perhaps you can give your doc's office a call to see if they will allow you full liquids sooner than planned. I've seen it happen here many times. And, while you have them on the phone you can ask about the pain you are experiencing.

Take care. I hope you feel better soon.

Hi Michelle

I have the opposite issue, I have no desire to eat anything! Regardless most people can start full liquids after 2-3 days. And as far as the shooting pains- i had them. They are due to the gas they pump you up with during the surgery that gets trapped. Just try to walk a lot and you will naturally release it.

Best of Luck!

      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.

        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!
