The surgery went well last thing I remember before I was knocked out was my surgeon and my anesthesiologist were arguing over what type of music to play Klove my choice or rock the anesthesiologist choice I never found out till recovery they play Christmas music lol I don't even remember being drowsy. They said I did really well with it and it took the minimum time 45 mins they had a little scare when I woke up I couldn't swallow and it turned out was from the numbing solution they used for the breathing tube. Went away fairly fast. We had I problem because I was kicked out before I was ready my surgeon is not happy about that and looking into that. So now I'm home and sore and the gas the injected for the surgery really hurts so I'm going to take the Lortab elixir they gave me a conk out for a while.

Yey..the journey begins here. I was banded 10 days ago. It's tough to begin with but it does get easier :-)

Princess Leah, hope you're doing well! I'm on day 16 so we are all together on this journey. Best wishes to you!

      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!
