Recommended Posts

:help: Hi everyone,

I am so nervous because I have surgery Thursday morning. Can you please give me some pointers and reassurance that it won't hurt a lot, and that I'll be okay?????

Cassandra,

Trust me its a breeze, you'll take a short nap in the operation room, and then you will wake up to find yourself new person, a person who is going to lose all the weight, start a new life, become healthy, attractive, slim and SEXY...

Nothing to worry about, as a matter of fact I was soo happy as my operation time became closer, I was ready for the new (ME) to be born.

Best of luck, and again, Nothing to worry about:cool: :eek: :P

It'll be fine! I was so nervous and now I see what a huge waste of energy it was. It is no big deal at all. You will drift off to sleep and wake up feeling so much better than you think. Nothing scary! Remember why you are taking this step and that this is just a tiny part of the lifetime you'll enjoy with a healthier bod!

No worries!! I was banded today, and I'm feeling pretty good. Keep in mind you'll probably have a large dose of morphine when you wake up. I was out of the hospital by about noon today. I'm sore now, but it's like ab muscle sore, you know, when you do several situps etc. My doctor gave me liquid Hydrocodone, and it is quite nasty. It tastes like Robitussin (sp?)

Don't be worried!! I was so nervous this morning that my face was starting to splotch, something it has never done before. You'll do great. Just get plenty of sleep the night before, otherwise if you're super super tired, it's more difficult for the anesthesiologistto wake you up after surgery.

Best of luck, and tell us how it goes!!!

You'll do just fine. I'm on my 6th day post-op, and am feeling pretty good today. Port area is sore still, but other then that things are good.

I was banded on August 22nd. First few days you will be a little sore, but nothing major. I was nervous too, but I feel great now. Good luck

      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!
