The surgery lasted 3hrs I had the lapband removed and the RNY done

Pain was 3-4 out of 10

Gas pains in left shoulder

Was up that night seating in a chair and walked the hall

Came home on Thursday with a drain tube in my left side

Doing fine drinking fluids 4oz in a hr

Up walking and sitting during the day

I got Monday to have my drainage tube removed

I would do this again in a heartbeat

List 9 lbs since Tuesday

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'. ???

      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!
