I got banded yesterday! I feel pretty good. My pain afterwards was 0 when gettin up and walking around it has been about a 3 or 4. I am so stiff and sore though. I have finally finished a Jello and half of a Protein Drink for the last 2days that all I have had. I also had hernia repair and the pain factor (thankfully) has not been bad at all. I do have a really high pain tollerence though. It does hurt when I take a deep breath. Having pressure on my stomach (pillow, ice) is a life saver the pressure feels so goos to have something there to support your tummy,

I HAVE AWFUL PAIN IN MY CHEST!! OUCH!!!!

That was the toughest part of my recovery. I had tons of pressure under my rib cage. It was caused from the gas they use while doing surgery. I took gas X strips and walked, and walked and walked some more finally it got better. Hang in there! Congratulations I remember going through all of the pre-opt stuff. It was so time consuming and frustrating I almost gave up. So glad I didn't though. Hope your feeling better soon:

      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!
