Don't be shy your in the right place. This website is very helpful and we all have been through what you are going through. So if you have questions shoot away!!!

Chad you got this! I am 3 days post op and feeling good. Port sight is sore and stomach feels like I did a million sit ups. Pain is not bad at all and I also had a pretty big paraesophogeal hernia repaired. Suprisingly enough I am hungry or at least I think I am. It goes away with a little Jello but getting water and protein shakes are easier 3 days in. Honestly it does get tiring with the liquid diet stuff from pre op to 1st stage I just want to BITE something. Good Luck Chad and let us know how you do.

Sleeved yesterday and returned home a little while ago. Fluids going down OK. Port site is painful. Is this normal?

Got banded yesterday!!! Just got home. While in there the Dr. Repaired a paraesophageal hernia. Really sore at port site. Is this normal.

Hospital just called and I am scheduled for surgery tomorrow at 4pm. Horrible time and now because so late in the day I have to stay the night in the hosp. Bummer

Getting banded in NJ on Thursday the 28th just 2 days away!!!! Anyone else?

The countdown is on!!!! Getting Banded on Friday!!!!
