Recommended Posts

i'm feeling really depressed reading you can eat food! LOL! My doctor has me on a liquids only for two weeks pre-op. Opti-fast and sugar free liquids! Bummer ... but it's ok, i'm ready to do this ... so I have three days to go and I'm doing OK!

Well I have less than 48 hours to go! I will be banded on Monday the 22nd. For me so far the hardest part has not been the liver shrinking diet but the Mag Citrate that I had to drink to day and the lovely things it does to you!:thumbup:

Just out of curiosity, are you putting the heating pad on your stomach? I"m guessing you are but it seems strange.

Way to go! You will do fine. The Mag Citrate won't be a memory after Monday!

Seems like the day is approaching for most of us ... mine is in 48 hours ... I don't have to do mag citrate ... just the two liquid opti-fast ... I think that's enough! I've done great on it ... 11 days and then BOOM! I was so hungry yesterday! I was stressed ... we had about 8 grandkids here swimming and playing around ... and eating every 5 minutes and I was so hungry! I made it though, took some xanax last night and slept great, getting ready for church this morning and realizing I need to start cleaning up around my computer and getting my stuff packed for the trip to the hospital!!! Yeah! We will be staying overnight before surgery, since it's so far from home, and I have one overnight night in the hospital, him in a hotel ... so, it's finally getting to be real! Praise God ... I'm praying for all of you this week, keep me in yours ... we'll probably all be back on line by Friday or Saturday with great stories! Looking forward to reading each one ... this is it! We are on our way!:embaressed_smile:

Hey girl I am sending a prayer up for you to have a textbook surgery and a great recovery! Don't forget to check-in when you feel up to it.

I had to go back and read from the top. There are several surgeries coming up and I want to wish you all well. Sorry if I missed you the first time.

Hi all,

I was banded on the 15th, so I'm just about a week out and my port site is ridiculously sore and tender. Has anyone else experienced this? It hurts to stand, walk, get out of bed or even sit. Any suggestions?

Also it feels sooooo weird being able to feel it so clearly under my skin. It gives me the "willies".

      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!
