Hopefully your swelling will go down soon. Remember, if you cannot drink you must call your surgeon! You can do real harm if you get dehydrated.

Take care.

Yeah for you! Getting off meds is huge! Oh, and get used to that 'purring' sound - the lap band makes us very noisy people!

Glad you're feeling better. Get some rest so that you continue healing. Remember, this is a time to "baby" yourself.

Take care.

Hi! My date is March 4! I'm not scared, but am Looking forward to getting it over with. What is it you are scared about? I've never had complete anesthesia and it gives me some pause, but I have faith that this is the correct step for me and I will be fine. So will you. Are you on all liquids right now? I've been drinking all liquids for six days. Tomorrow, all Clear Liquids. How does your surgeon want you to prepare for the surgery?

      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.

        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!
