Banded yesterday along with a hernia repair, so I had to spend the night in the hospital. In minimal pain, thankfully. The gas pain in my shoulder comes and goes, but its manageable. I'm guessing my port site is the area on my tummy that is really sore. Have been using a heating pad in that area. I'm glad to be home, in my own bed since I didn't get a lick of rest in the hospital ... I swear the nurses wait outside the door until you fall asleep! So glad to be banded!!!

Feeling almost back to normal. Still sore on my left (port) side, but from what I have read, that's going to take about a month to heal. Already off one of my BP meds too. Ready to get exercising but the hernia repair has me waiting on that. Scheduled for my first fill on the 26th. I'm ready to see what the green zone feels like :)

      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!
