I am offically a member of the bandsters! :(

I am so glad to be on the other side.

I had surgery on the 6th at 10:30 and was home by 5:00.

It was pretty uneventful!:thumbup:

I am doing good, just the port pain and gas between the shoulders. :(

I am walking about every 30 minutes and not taking the pain meds. They gave me Lortab and it has codine in it:huh2: (I told them it made me sick) so I decided I would just go with liquid Tylenol and it works fine. :Dancing_wub:

I am sipping every 30 minutes or so and had about 3 oz of protien bullet.:thumbup:

I have a little sf Jello and hot tea to fill in.

Congrats to all you others that are banded and can't wait to hear from all of you!:thumbup:

Hi! I was bended on June 6th and arrived home this morning. I feel okay just sore as heck on the surgical area. I'm walking a lot too and trying to limit the pain meds cause it just makes me sleepy. Best wishes to you!

Cathy,

So glad to hear you are doing well, you have really been upbeat and encouraging to your fellow Jazzy Junes! I know I have really appreciated it. Now, do you think you could just come hold my hand in the OR on Monday?:) I can't wait to be on the loser bench 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.

        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!
