Banded Today!! 10/10/12



Recommended Posts

Well it's all over!! Banded this morning and feeling okay. The most pain I'm having is the gas pain and some minor abdominal discomfort.I am able to get up and pee and get back down on my own; but slowly. Biggest thing I was nervous about was taking my night medications because my doctor told me they were small enough to not crush; but I trust him.

Now to continue burping to help with the gas and stay hydrated!!

Congratulations,, I am happy for you.. I am going to follow your posts as I am going for lapband on Monday and am pretty excited and a little scared to. I was told that the gas is not the best feeling, and like you I was going to ask my doctor about my pills as I would be scared to take them. Let me know how you do with your pills.

The pills were okay. Don't think anything got stuck: and they would disintegrate if they did. I am feeling more pain now since I've been getting up and down but I'm assuming that's normal with the increased movement. Still hard to get up from reclining in the chair; but getting better.

Drink lots of Water but SIP it. SF popsicles the next day. Walk lots for the gas and a heating pad on back for the gas as well.

Congratulations and Best Wishes

I was banded yesterday too! Glad to hear you are doing well. I have a lot of soreness and my chest and back hurt the worse. I am assuming its gas. I am not having any problems with the Water or broth. Take care and congratulations

      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!
