Recommended Posts

bumping. Did this get lost in the shuffle? Alex, come tell us how your doing!! Congratulation on the band rebirth!

Hey everybody!!!!

I'm alive and geting better every day!!:) I had some really bad gas/shoulder pains but I am doing better now. I started work yesterday and everybody is looking at me funny (I did not tell anyone what kind of "abdominal" surgery I was having). I have really long hair and which I wore in a pony tale and one of the Drs (I work in Hospital) actually mistacend me for another sonographer (who is stick thin, blond, and looks nothing like me). I lost 9lbs since my day of surgery:biggrin1: !! The only thing is that I am starting to get hunger pangs and going to the cafeteria (I usually bring a "cup-o-soup" with me) with other personel is becoming an exercise in will power:mmph: . I have a questiong to you all my wonderfull friends, where is your ports?? All my laporscopic "openings" are still healing and I can't tell where it is:nervous . Anyhooo I'm looking forward to a new life with the band and hopefull this will be the one thing that will finally work for me indefinetly. Thank You all for being here for me all of you are wonderfull and I hope I can have the opertunity to show my caring, support, and kindness to you all as you all have done for me.

THANK YOU!!!!!

PS: as most have you have noticed...I AM A TERRIBLE SPELLER...and I am sorry if I have horified some of you who are more eliquent with my missuse (and abuse:p ) of the English language (I immigrated here as a child from Moscow, Russia but it is not a good excuse I know). I am usually too imberased to post too much since in three letter words I make four mistakes:biggrin1: :confused:

You can tell where mine is very easily because my port scar is like 2 inches and the other ones are like 1/4 in. Mine is on my left side about 2 in. above my navel but like straight down under my left booby.

Hope your doing great,

      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!
