Hi guys, well I am day 1 post op, everything went well, I am in a lot more pain than I anticipated. I remember waking up in recovery in severe pain and I was kinda surprised at that. Was given alot of pain meds and spent about 2 1/2 hours in recovery before going to my room. I slept off and on all day yesterday and got home today. I had the barium swallow and this morning and everything went down fine!! I don't have any gas pains yet. More inside pains if that makes sense. Some pain on the left thats where my port is the doctor said. He said my liver was perfect didn't need to retract that during the procedure which means the preop diet was a success!! Anyway, i'm just going to take it easy drinking a little juice and broth for dinner not too hungry at all but I know I better try to drink. Was given liquid roxicet for pain and took that. I do seem to be swollen in my belly although my incisions are small and painless. I'm glad to be on the "banded" side now!!! Good luck to the rest of the May bandsters!!!

      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!
