Hello, my RnY was on the 3rd. All went well. I did have a lot of pain while I had my drain in. Once it was removed the pain immediately went away. My Doctor ordered an elastic waist band that has really helped especially when doing my walking. I am home now and feel great. Just going to continue resting for a few days. Best wishes to all of you who have your date coming up.

Hello @Faith 73, I also had my surgery on the 3rd. I keep hearing about these waist band and I so want one. I think it would help my new tummy heal and not hurt like a ..... Every time I get up or try to sleep. I'm getting my liquids/protein down ok and I've been walking every chance I get so I'm pretty happy about that. Just happy to finally be in the losers bench.

Well I’m day four into the preop diet along with a week prior of having the stomach flu. I weighed myself this morning and the first fifteen pounds are gone. Although the last several days I’ve have a headache. Has anybody else had this?

Yep, I've had a couple of headaches during the pre-op diet and some friends who have also had the surgery told me it was normal. I guess it's sugar/carb/caffeine withdrawal? I upped my Water and that helped a little. Hope you feel better!

Day 10 on my pre op diet and I started getting them yesterday. Not a normal headache either, feels different. Like a deeper pain if that makes sense? Goes away after the next meal. Actually got me nauseous today for a bit. The hunger has seemed to get normal, not better just normal. But the headaches are new. Hope they don't last the rest of this week

I had my surgery on the 2nd and the pain has been bad. I am finally starting to feel a little better but I do still hurt when I drink Water or have a sugar free popsicle. My belly is still numb in some places. And sore to the touch. Follow up on Tuesday I plan to ask lots of questions.

      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!
