Recommended Posts

I am officially a Bandster!! I had my surgery on Thursday. He took my gallbladder out also. I had over 30 stones in there! He gave us 3 of them, they are funny lookin. I am thinking about gettin some google eyes and some of that craft pipe cleaner and make a little bug out of them hehe. Think I can sell em on ebay? LOL

I am feeling great. I am glad its over. Now I can just heal and enjoy my band.

Great news, Jen!! Glad to hear all went well. Good thing you got the gallbladder at the same time. For me it was 6 weeks AFTER my SECOND banding. :D

Congrats Jenn! My surgeon took my bad gallbladder out when I was banded, too. You should start feeling better right away, just getting that nasty thing out of your body. And you got your band! Hope you continue to recover smoothly.

Way to go Jen. Hope you're feeling as well as your post indicates. I received my band on Monday and I'm still fighting the shoulder gas pain. It goes and comes, but when it's on, I get quizzy on the tummy. My first two days were better than my day 3 and 4, but today has been very good. Oh yea, on my day 4, I was down 13.5 lbs. I'm sure most of it's Fluid, but it's still good to see those digital number drop. I had to do a double take, even got off the scales and back on to make sure I didn't mess up.

Take care of yourself.

      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!
