Hey there! Oh the pain from the gas is the worst. I was banded on Monday. Monday the gas pain was horrible couldn't feel the incisions, yesterday has pain was still pretty bad, started to feel pain in the incisions. Today I'm quite swollen but the gas pains are easing up!

Oh that's good that they are Easing up!!! I was just talkin to a friend who was banded about 4 months ago and she didn't have much pain at all after surgery lol .. Lucky thing!!! I'm tossing up about taking some panadol but I don't think it will help too much :) perhaps if I just sleep ill wake up feeling a bit better !!

        Have a great Wednesday too! Sorry you're hungry all the time, I'm pretty much the same..and I'm sick of eating the same food all the time.

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!
