Tomorrow is surgery day guys!



Recommended Posts

I'm so excited! I can't believe time has gone so fast since I got my surgery day in January!
So I am having my band taken out and revised to a RNY. Over the last 2.5 months I have also quit smoking (smoked for 6 years) so that was a little taxing but I made it!
My dr let me know that I will be in the hospital for 2 days so if there is anything you suggest to bring to the hospital I am all ears!
For anyone who is ok social media I do have a fitness Instagram that was made when I was working out and training and trying the lose weight naturally (because my band wasn't restricted) but have since changed it so my IG name is rny_in_ny. I also have a blog RnyinNY.wordpress.com
Just in case anyone wants to follow, I am going to blog as much as I can because when I got my band I never did.
Anyone have band to bypass and are a couple months out?

How is it going? I'm just starting my journey to get on the path to revision...my GERD is out of control and ruining my life. Meds don't help, my band is unusable; either too tight or too loose and I've gained weight. Meeting a team this week to learn about options, but I'm pretty sure RNY will be the result.

How are you feeling?

I'm 12 days out, I slept most of the time in the hospital and walked when I was awake. It's such a cool feeling not to have that port and the feeling of restriction when you have a few bites of food, instead of being stuck, your full!

      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!
