How many days did you have gas? Where did you get yours done? How was your experience?

Hey uptwist. I was banded at day one health downtown. i had the referred left shoulder gas pain for about two and a half weeks! UGH! gas x doesnt touch it cuz it's not in the stomach it left over in the abdominal cavity. i did finally get some relief from walking on the treadmill, but that didnt realy help my when i was sitting in church or at work.( excuse me pastor i know you're preaching but can i just take a quick jog around the sanctuary, i'll be right badk) ummmm yeah dont think that would have went over to well! LOL! feel free to add me as a friend and PM with any questions

I'm glad to know it's not just me then...I was banded on 6/17 in Delaware, but ended up in the ER with my doctor. He took some Fluid out of the band and loosened it up some--I had the worst heartburn in my life until then. It's gone down considerably, but I'm still fighting all that other gas. The worst part, I think, is now looking bigger than before--all that bloating has made me look about 12 months pregnant! I'd like to at lease SEE my progress :) Good luck, everyone!

      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!
