Recommended Posts

Im excited and nervous. I do a ton of reading on here and havent posted much. I have crossed my "T's" and dotted my "I's". I have been on the slimfast diet for a week now and feel great. I had a spell of dizzyness one morning but thanks to all the posted I found that I was dehydrated and drank a bunch more Water and am fine.

Good Luck to all that are goin thru classes and medical clearence and to this months bansters.

Hello, My surgery was on July 23, 09 and went smoothly, as I had an old incision from open gallbladder years ago. Except when waking up I was in quite alot of abdominal pain and shoulder pain. I am on Day 2 and still taking sips of G- 2 and broth and s/f popscicle 2 a day.. The gas pains in shoulder, chest, neck upper back is difficult and I have to lay on let side to get relief. I am walking around our home alot and doesn't seem to help yet.. Abdominal feels like muscular pain. My day seems to be rest, walk and sip and same stuff and am lucky my hubby took 3 boys out today as any stress with boys gets me more uncomfortable.. Best of Luck for those yet to b e banded and thoughts with every lappy already done...

You will feel better before you know it. I am close to two weeks out now and I felt like a new woman after one week post op. Hang in there and know you will feel sooo much better in a few days.

      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!
