CONGRATULATIONS !! happy for you !! remember to leave a bottle of Water and some life savers in the car for the ride home . i had the worst cottonmouth after surgery . ice chips and water helped in the recovery room, but i drank alot of water once i got home and sucked on a small piece of candy cane to help get some moisture in my mouth. anyway im 8 weeks out, down 15 lbs and feel great ! ( its nice when my pants started falling off and the compliments started coming in !"you're going to be a hot mama was the funniest one !" ) good luck to you !see you on the other side !

Thanks everybody, I am home now! I had the lap band put in and the iband done (if you don't know that that is google "iband" and "dr. Smith" he is doing some research on different techniques.

It was all great except the "gas bubble" pain.. it wasn't in my shoulder, it was all over my abdomen. I was at a 9 on the pain scale when I woke up. But although I'm still in pain I'm extremely excited, I've finally taken my weight in my own hands and will be able to do this. I want to thank all of you for your support and love, this forum is a special kind of place with wonderful people! I love you all!!

      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!
