Banded for two days now!



Recommended Posts

I'm on the other side woo!! The last two days were pretty hard, I have not had anything to drink besides a few drops of juice which was very painful. This is because there was a minor complication during surgery that left the band site exceptionally swollen, they tell me tomorrow should be a lot better.. We shall see. Watching tv in my hospital room has been a nice little vacation, especially with all these meds :P

I'll post again with an update soon.

Yikes! Hopefully things get better tomorrow and the swelling goes down.

I had my surgery this morning and starving on the Water day and looking forward to having some juice tomorrow, hope that goes ok.

Hope you are feeling better soon! I had a difficult time for about 5 days after my surgery due to swelling but it got much better very quickly after that.

Hang in there. I am six days out and off pain medication for 3 days and am very pleased. The Soups and shakes are getting boring so I am looking forward to being able to eat real food again.

I assume you're getting fluids intravenously so you're not really dehydrating?

Update: I managed to get a glass of Water down with no problem. If I can keep juice and beef broth down then they will release me today. Yes 2muchfun I was on IV fluids along with some anti-inflammatories for my stomach. Time for my juice and skim milk! Wish me luck.

      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!
