Post-op and monthly friend...



Recommended Posts

I'm getting banded on Monday, and there is a good chance I'll be getting a visit from a certain aunt soon. I'm already seriously overdue, but because of my thyroid, my cycles are crazy. So, she can come any day. I'm just wondering if anyone had this visit either during or right after surgery, and if you had any issues with bending over while sitting.

My aunt visited me 4 days post op...fun fun! As far as bending over, I still can't. GL with your band!!

I got mine 2 days post op and it was the worst period in my life. I hadn't been cramping in over 5 years, then all of the sudden heavy cramping and bleeding with my period post op. Thank goodness this only happened with my first period post op and hasn't happened since.

I think today is your surgery - hope it goes well. I had my period during my surgery and it was no big deal. I told the nurse and she gave me an industrial size pad (no tampons while under anasthesia) and the whole thing went fine.

Thanks, of course mine came 2 days before surgery, but luckily they now make ultra tampons, and I was able to keep it during surgery. So far no issues at all, and I think this has been my lightest cycle in a years! Thank goodness!!!

      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!
