After Surgery? Toot Toot Express?



Recommended Posts

To all who are banded. Can I expect to ride the TOOT TOOT express after having all that air blow into my stomach?

Is it similar to a colonoscopy?

Flying out tomorrow!

I didn't actually pass too much gas, it was more of an internal thing. It may have felt better if it had actually been let out! Good luck with your surgery--and I think you will have good weather in Denver--the storm we were supposed to get didn't materialize, and I think it's smooth sailing for the next few days. I live in Pueblo, which is about 120 miles south of Denver. I will send happy thoughts your way!

Me too, not too much Toot Toot but a lot of bloating. However, if the urge strikes you then honk away. Whatever you can do to get that gas out will make your recovery that much easier!!

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
