For Those Already Banded..vacation?



Recommended Posts

Hi, I'm being banded February 15th! Me and my husband's anniversary is about a month 1/2 later and we were hoping to plan a getaway..but I'm wondering if I'll be ready for that..I was hoping we could go to Disney World but I'm wondering if it would be safe to ride the rides and be doing that much walking that early out and get all jolted around? If not Disney World, maybe Jamaica or Myrtle Beach...but also not sure about being banded and if airplane rides have any effects on each other..

I'm seeing my Surgeon one last time before surgery next Tuesday so I'm going to ask him about all this but wanted to get advice/opinions from y'all also! Thanks..

I see a problem at all with going to Disney World, and walking, and riding the rides.

I would ask about the plane though, he might hold of on any fills in the band.

I went to Disney approximately 4 weeks after surgery and I didn't have any problems at all.

I just got back from vacation in FL. 2 1/2 months after surgery and a week after my second fill. No issue flying. My doctor suggested liquids only on the day you fly. But since I did not experience any issues, I did eat dinner. And on the way home, I sorta forgot the suggestion.

The best thing was I had so much more energy this time. No Disney this time, but I was able to keep up with my husband and do everything I wanted to do.

Have fun.

      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.

      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!
