I'm home after my surgery. Everything went fine and dandy. I actually have the Realize band and I had the "single" insision. The only trouble I"m having right now is that I'm really nauseous. But hopefully that will go away soon!

Congrats! I really had problems with nausea in the beginning also. I found out I had stomach flu and then I still had nausea for about a week after. It finally went away and it felt so good to be human again. Good Luck!

Congrats! I had problems with nausea too, the doctors said it was from the anesthesia. I think they were right because it went away in the first day post-op. Anyway, hope you heal up well!

YAY ! SARAH ! Welcome to the band wagon !! the nausea was also really bad for me. Get the motion sickness wrist bands at your local pharmacy, they actually work !! Or you can also have your primary call you in a prescription for Zofran, liquid or rapid melts, they also worked wonders for me !!!

Thanks guys! I'm actually feeling better. I wonder if the gas was making me feel nauseous instead of actually being nauseous if that makes any sense. I feel like I have a lot of pressure around my sternum.

YAY! I'm so excited to join the Band wagon!!

Congrats Sarah - the gas is giving me a lot of pain/pressure around the sternum as well. Hope you are feeling well.

      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!
