So yesterday I finally got my lapband after trying for 4 years. It's still hasn't quite hit me that I've actually got it, but the pain now reminds me. Thankfully it's not as bad as I thought, but it's very uncomfortable. I have no desire to eat though. Is that normal? I had nothing but Water yesterday and still don't have an appetite. I don't feel sick, just not hungry(which is kind of nice.). Does anyone have advice on how to stay comfortable once the anesthesia wears off and the pain is more intense? Thank you everyone for being so encouraging.

You'll probably see this a lot...best advice after surgery is walk, walk and more walk. It will help the gas release from your body. I'm 10 days post op and it's only been a few days that I've actually felt hungry. My tummy rumbles, but no desire to start munching. Good luck to you all!

I've been walking when I can but I get so dizzy(I think part of it is the pain medicine). I just tried to drink broth for the first time and after 2 sips I was done. So I'm at leading drinking Water. I just wanted to make sure that was normal. Thank you so much!

That's good to know! It's nice not being hungry. My tummy grumbles too but I can't even think about eating(....we'll drinking) anything but Water right now. Thank you! :D

I agree. I'm 9 days post op and have had the tummy rumbles, but they seem to be easier to control then they were preband. :)

Congrats on your band! I felt the same way for 4-5 days after my surgery then I was able to drink without being so "full"

Thankfully for me the rumbles aren't bad now. On the pre-op I felt like I was starving to death at times! Lol. I just want to make sure I get my nutrients even though I don't really want to eat(drink) anything right now.

Oh yes' date=' preop I wanted to eat everything. Even stuff I didn't like. LOL. Our minds are funny that way :blink:[/quote']

Definitely! I'm not a Soup person but I was craving soup! It's funny how things I've always hated sounded delicious at the moment. Lol.

      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!
