Well here I am on the other side. The pain isn't and wasn't nearly as bad as I thought it would be, except when I cough UGHH but holding a pillow on my tummy really helps. I haven't had any trouble swallowing at all and I really thought I would, I had not been able to feel the band but when I coughed I felt something in the general area and it was a bit uncomfortable, tight.

Narced up on liquid hydrocodone this morning so very comfortable and woozy. Emptied the sink of a small amount of dishes and silverware my husband left, top shelf so it was easy. Managed to feed the dogs. Put on a pot of coffee and drank a Protein shake for Breakfast.

Really feeling good and looking forward to losing more weight!

Congratulations......Remember this...this DOES work!

And do not take too much of what you read on this forum to heart....the majority of people who come here are those with problems seeking advice or motivation and support because they are failing, or simply don't understand..........the successful ones, and they ARE out there, don't hang around here all that much.....

Sometimes you would think this never works, but it does!

      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.

      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!
