Surgery is tomorrow. I'm so anxious and excited I'm not sure if I'll be able to sleep tonight. I haven't felt like this since I was a child on Christmas Eve. Sending everyone good luck and good thoughts!

Headed to the hospital today to be banded! Surgery scheduled for 12:30. I'm not nervous about the lap band - I just don't like the process. You know, IV's, hospital gown, anesthesia, etc. but you know what they say...nurses make the worst patients! More posts later! Good luck to anyone else getting banded today!

Well I am officially banded as of 3:00 pm yesterday. I was hurting pretty bad from having my tummy blown up to do procedure. It lasted about 5-6 hours but once I took pain med it helped and has since gone away for the most part. My largest incision hurts and I'm sore but it's not unbearable. I've only had ice chops and sips of Gatorade so far but not feeling hungry. They really pre-medicated me well for nausea. I have a patch behind my ear to remove in three days, I have a band on my wrist that sends little electrical currents and signals my brain to not feel nauseous. Not to mention regular meds. So I pray for no throwing up. Overall - not so bad today. Hope everyone else is re-cooperating well!

First day after surgery and I'm feeling pretty good aside from two incisions that are painful. My liquids are going down just fine. So far so good :)

I'm on my second day after surgery and it seems worse today than yesterday...I'm guessing its due to more inflammation. I feel gassy today as well. I didn't want to take any pain medicine this morning but may have to anyway. My liquids seem to be going down fine, but I'm a tad hungry. Hope everyone is well.

      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!
