  2. I wish you speedy recovery. I got banded yesterday too, and hernia repair done also. I got home at 1 pm yesterday. I also woke up in severe pain at the hospital, but walkmg from bathroom to the hospital bed helped. They didn't keep men overnight or did any other GI test. Still in pain and hurts to sit, get up, laydowm and getting up from laying down hurts a lot. I felt the stomach and incision area to be tight this morning.
  3. Was anyone else asked to take deep breath and try to cough, so you don't catch pneumonia? It hurts to cough though. Also is the incision and stomach area tight in the morning? Mine feels tight. I had my surgery dorm yesterday.
