I want everyone that post a complaint or needs advice to remember this.The first thing you do is call your doctor. And than write us and ask our opinion. i made a mistake by not telling someone to call their doctor and it turned out to be something. Thank goodness it wasn't anything serious, i have always added call your doctor but this time i just forgot to write it. so i am saying it now. always call your bariatric surgeon or your primary care doctor if you have a concern. they are the best to answer questions. now if their advice is crappy we might tell you that and to get a new doctor but always always contact your doctor. i don't ever want to be responsible for your condition to be more unbearable than it is. okay i'm done. have a good life. :rolleyes:

I have said this for four years and time and time again people would rather play with their lives and post here then contact their surgeons. I have my surgeons cell phone number and can call him 24 hours a day if needed. I have not had any issues in 4 years but you never know. I would never ask anyone here about pain of any sort, chest pain, shortness of breath, unable to eat or drink heck no. Those questions should be for your doctors then tell us the outcome.

Absolutely, I have stated I am not in the medical field, and don't know you or your band! I am here to assist after you asked your surgeon! Karen..aka..kll724

Actually, I know the post you speak of. The original poster stated that she had called her clinic and they wanted her to come in on Monday. So no harm done with any advice that you might have given her or not have given her. She had already done what was necessary.

I think she was just hoping for some reassurance.

      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.

        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!
