i was banded april 22nd and actually felt like i had no restriction. i started a Water aerobics class about a week ago and now i have massive restriction. i ate a few bites of chicken today, chewed very thoroughly, very small bites and now i feel like i have been punched hard in the stomach. it hurts to breathe and to walk and to lay down. has anyone experienced this before? i emailed my dr and he said he just thinks it stuck and will pass but it hurts to even drink water. how can i deal with the pain?

Tell that doctor that it hasn't gone away! If you are stuck it should pass in a couple of hours. Call him and tell him it has been a week! Not sure what the problem is but remember ( this is my mantra) He did not do the surgery for free. Good luck and let us know how you are.

I thought the inability to drink water or pain doing so was a tell-tale sign that something is wrong?? I'd definitely call your Doc and insist to be seen! It's your body dont live in pain!! Good Luck & keep posted so we know your ok!!

You should definitely see your surgeon as soon as possible, or go to the emergency room, they can at least do a test to see what is going on. Good luck to 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!
