Ugh! The bowel prep stuff is YUCKY!!! Thank goodness he gave me phenergan to take with it. I have to drink another bottle in 15 minutes.

Thanks for you thoughts...getting down to the hourly count.

Hi - just wanted to check in and say I've done it!! I'm banded as of Sept. 30. The doctor said I was of such short stature that it wasn't easy to band me and I'm really sore yet, full of gas and getting HUNGRY:thumbdown:. I've got 1 more day on clears and then can start on full liquids on Saturday, can't wait. I have to admit to wondering what I did to myself yesterday but today I have a better attitude and can again believe that I did the right thing. Congrats to everyone else who has just been banded also! Simon

Hi All.

I had my surgery on the 30th, too. I feel great. I am back at work today. I know, crazy, but I feel too good to just sit at home. I have a desk job. I hope everyone feels better soon.

Feeling better, went out for a walk today.:thumbup:

Heading back to work tomorrow. I don't feel any restriction and the liquids are not doing the trick, my tummy is growling all the time. (Not only gas!):crying:

I have my first Dr. Visit on Wed.

I just spoke to my surgeon about that. He said that some people get girgling noises that we're saying is growling, from their band. It's food slipping thru and some air with it. Sounds strange to me, but we'll get used to it he said.

      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!
