Surgery went great and I feel fine. Was in and out in 7 hours. I took some GasX as soon as I got home, so no pain - yeah. This was the easiest surgery I have ever had. I am so happy. I've been drinking plenty of fluids all day with no problem. All of my fears and anxiety were for nothing - lol. Now onto a lifetime of health and feeling great and looking great. For me, this was the best decision I have ever made and the best is yet tocome. Have a good night everyone!

Hey, I was banded yesterday (01/30/2012) Took pain meds yesterday and slept and walked. I think it went great. I am so excited. Hope you had as good a day as I did.

I'm happy to hear your surgery went well! I was banded today too...woo hoo!! I'm a little sore, but it is definetly manageable! I am so happy to be on the banded side. I was a nervous wreck today. I was totally questioning my decision and so far I'm happy I went through with it!

Thanks everyone - and congrats to all of us on the banded side. Surgery yesterday, today was good - really good. Soreness relieved with liquid Lortab, no gas pains but took 2 Gas X proactively to make sure. I actually am staying with my daughter this week and spent the majority of the day cleaning her house and doing her laundry! Boy, I hope I don't pay for that tomorrow - lol. :) I usually tend to do too much too soon. I am not hungry but drinking plenty of liquids - hoping the not hungry feeling lasts a long time. I am so grateful this turned out to be so much better than I had imagined it would be. Stay strong everyone and good luck to us!

      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!
