Newly Banded With A Question....
agreeing with the above poster, i also had a hernia repair and i also had a slight tightening if you will when i swallowed or even took a deep breath. it did not hurt but was somewhat uncomfortable. it does get better as you heal and the swelling subsides. hang in there and congrats on your surgery. all the best to you

Tightness In Chest
this is normal. it happened to me (i had a hernia repair also). so i think as the days past, you will be able to take deeper breaths and not have it as uncomfortable as it is now. i promise, it will get better. congrats on your surgery. just follow your dr's instructions. rest as much as you can, sip sip sip and then rest some more. have a great day and keep positive.

Ack! I Messed Up!
well, whats done is done. just dont do it again missy the pre diet is to shrink your liver and get you ready for surgery. you cant beat yourself up because we cant change what happened. you are not a failure. you acknowledged what you did, you confronted it and now you are moving past it. that to me says something. new day.....new beginning and now you just do your best

People Noticed!

Feedback On Plication With Band.
sorry, my post was entered twice--tried to delete one

Feedback On Plication With Band.
i had the band and plication and am super glad i did. it makes me feel full after about 4 oz of food. per my surgeon, the blood loss part occurs if the plication is up near the banding. if its done down lower, the risk is less. there was no way in hell i was gonna cut my stomach/intestines. that was just something i was not comfortable doing. it seems to be working for me and i highly recommend to anyone who asks me. and fyi, all wls surgeries have risks. even the sleeve.
