BANDED YESTERDAY



Recommended Posts

Hi, all. I was banded yesterday and am doing great. The pain is tolerable. I am just dying to drink something and I have to have an X-ray (with contrast) done first. So, just wanted to let all of my other jan '13 bandsters know that it really isn't bad! Have a great day.

Hi, everyone! Thx for the warm welcomes. I am doing considerable better after an urgent "unfill" last night. I was overfilled. Much better now. To all of the other new bandsters, I look forward to sharing our journey.

I had a band revision (actually a new system put in) and a hernia repair on the 15th. Still having a lot of pain from the hernia and the removal of the old port. My last band was placed up too high so I did not have any significant weight loss over the past 2 years.

If you are wondering why it took 2 years to figure that out it is because 6 months after I was banded I had a full hysterectomy which we thought was causing issues, then about 8 months after that I had a thyriod ectomy which also created issues. Hopefully we are done removing body parts and can get onto the fat loss ;0)

      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!
