I think it is from the hernia repair. I had a 10 hour back surgery in May of last year and it didn't make me hoarse. Didn't think about comparing. Thanks!

I had my surgery April 19 along with a hernia (hiatial). I've been hoarse off and on since. Is this normal? I go back for a fill May 20.

My BMI was just under 32. My Dr did require a preoperative liquid diet but I didn't follow it religiously. I would however try to stay away from as many carbohydrates as possible. It really does make a difference in liver size and also a higher protein diet speeds healing.

Is it okay to use a heating pad on my tummy? I'm 1 week post op

Everyone is doing so awesome! I'll be glad when the swelling goes down all the way. I'm down 12 lbs since April 5.

I've only been banded for a week. Maybe it's tubing...I also had plication done. Thanks for the info! I'll be sure to check it out when I go see Doc Monday

I can actually feel my port AND my band through my skin. I'm going to see my surgeon Monday. I feel like,I have a pocket of gas on my left side just under my bottom rib.

Since my surgery not sick my surgery...oiy!

Ugh....I look like an accident victim. My tummy is a lovely palette of blue, purple, and yellow. It's been a week today sick My surgery. My left shoulder is still killing me. The port site is still sore. I can feel my port AND my band through my skin....I that weird or normal? I go back Mon for a checkup.

Thanks! My temperature went down after lunch yesterday. I'm on antibiotics because I'm still running a temp of 100-101°…feeling better though!

If you would have asked me Fri, Sat, Sun, or before 1:00 yesterday I would have said don't have it done! Of course I had mine done Fri and was back at school Mon morning. I ran a low grade temp for a few days too. But around 1:00 yesterday I started feeling better. Except for the pain in my left shoulder, the occasional gas pain in my stomach, and the restriction I'm feeling so much better. I'm black & blue and my port site is tender but I'm so glad I did this!

Is it normal that I look like I'm in my third trimester? I'm walking and taking GasX but this bloating sucks!

I FARTED!!! Never in my life have I been this excited to pass gas!

I had my surgery yesterday. My tongue has a numb spot on it - left side tip and a little bit up from there. Has anyone experienced this?
