My surgery cancelled tomorrow!



Recommended Posts

I had not been feeling well and have been taking antibiotics for a sinus infection since Sunday. Being optimistic I thought I would feel alot better by today. Not the case. I called the surgeon and left a message. They just called back and cancelled the surgery until Sept 24th. Good news is they said I could eat noramlly, but not in excess for 2 days!!! There is a light at the end of the tunnel. Tamara

SMART move! With 5 puncture holes through your abdominal wall & muscle, and trapped carbon dioxide gas under your diaphragm from surgery, you DON'T want to be coughing and hacking on sinus drainage. Make sure you are well. It will happen when the time is right.

Take care of yourself, Sept 24 will be here before you know it. I totally understand, but you have to think of your health. Get well, then you will be able to take on the Band! :thumbup:

Just to let you know I was banded on Sept 5, I didn't have an infection just some post nasal drip (yuck) so I went ahead with my surgery. It was not fun coughing after surgery. I know some else said this but Sept 24 will be here faster than you realize and you won't have to worry about coughing with a sore tummy! Good luck!!

      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!
