?? For Those Who Were Banded And Had A Hernia Repair



Recommended Posts

Hi everyone!! Thank you for all the thoughts and concerns!! I'm home now. A brief stay in the ER due to elevated D-Dimer test (clot somewhere) but with a CT scan showing no clots in my lungs. I do have Fluid in the lower lobes of my lungs. So I just need to take deeper breaths and get up and move around more which I have been today. :))) Onward in this journey is the only place that I'm going. :))))

Yeap same thing happened to me, the d-dimer was high because of your recent surgery , mine was to but they have to make sure that theres no clots, deep breathes will open up your so called " grapes" in the lungs, best of luck!

Did you have a lot of periods of shortness of breath? It's hard to breath a lot more these days. I'm 6days post op. Any and all advice is appreciated. Thank you.

You should be having a post op visit soon? I had a hiatal hernia repairs, 3 weeks out still have alot of port incision pain but not shortness of breath, only for a few days when in the hospital and had to breath into that plastic tube thing and then coughed up junk, that is all..which was extremely painful :( But have you tried gas x? I started having gas up top only at first and some burping before the gas below which was maybe after a week post op.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
