How did you sleep before surgery , I was a stomach sleeper before surgery, now I am a side sleeper , & I really don't know what to tell you expect ask your surgeon if it could be related to the band, then again you may find out some other pains as they did stitch our bands to a muscle in our stomach , later on we find out about muscles we didn't know we had or used , hope the pain goes away , any way how r u feeling now besides that up & getting around better & did things move along for u LOL.

I was a stomach sleeper before surgery. I have been sleeping on my back or a little on side. Maybe that is it. I am otherwise doing ok just trying to get reconditioned. Appetite has returned on day 6 and no fill for 3 more weeks. I start mashies Thursday. 1 day early per my surgeon's office. Yeah! Back to work Wednesday

Luckily after I had surgery I had a adjustable bed but I still put a LOT of pillows behind me so I could sleep , after a few days I was OK but others have slept in their recliner for a few days because like I said we are using muscles WE didn't know we had & having the band stitched to our stomach muscle well painful when we move certain ways , it will get better & in a couple of months you will start noticing even more changes with 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.

      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!
