Feeling Down.



Recommended Posts

I was banded on 7/11/12, things have been going really well and have felt vet optimistic and upbeat ever since the surgery, until today that is. I don't know if its just feeling run down since going back to work, who knows. Anyone else feel this way?

Hi Sarie,

i got banded on 5/29 and after being at home for 2 wks, i thought i was ready to go back to work... NOT! i was fine throughout the day but as soon as i got home i layed down just to kind of rest and of course 2 hours later i realized that i fell asleep! i guess my body needed, i did that for the first week i was back at work and felt that i needed it! listen to your body and rest! I feel much better now that i have also started on my solids, i feel like i have all of this energy so i take 1/2 hr walks just to burn it off.. It'll get better! ;)

Be sure to take Vitamins, drink plenty of fluids and get some rest. You are still healing. I assume your surgery was 07/01 since 07/11/12 isn't here yet. LOL It is normal to feel run down and tired.

Good luck!

Body goes thru physical and emotional changes. Hang in there and take the ride. I was banded in 2010. It is truly a journey of ups and downs, high energy and no energy. Seek support and take care of yourself.

      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!
