Thanks everyone! I made it thru surgery quite well. But the post pain is rough! It feels as if I got stabbed several times in my chest, stomach, and left shoulder.

However, im on 1 day post op and I feel a little better. No more shoulder pain and medicine is starting to help slightly with stabbing feeling.

I have no regrets about my banded decision....even with this pain. NO PAIN NO GAIN!

They say that shoulder pain is from gas. Three girls in my office has had the band and they say I have to walk a lot after surgery to try to avoid that pain. I hope it's feeling better. I go in on the 16th. These girls looks great. It's been about two years for them and they say it comes off slow,but they kept watching the scale go llower and lower. Best decision they made and hoping for the best.

      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'. ???

        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!
