I was banded yesterday. I have gas pains and soreness in my abdomen but I feel pretty good overall. I have no appetite. I have been forcing myself to drink Water and broth.
Dr has me on clear liquids for a week then I can add in things like pudding and yogurt and Protein shakes.

I am scheduled to have surgery on 9/19. 4 weeks yay! The doctor is going to fix my hiatal hernia while he in in there. My insurance would have covered the surgery regardless but the doc said I will be getting a buy 1 get 1 free deal, with each lapband, get a free hiatal hernia repair, lol.

I am scheduled for 9/19. I am so excited. I wish it was sooner!

I am so excited!
I wish it was sooner, but with my hectic work schedule and the doctor taking a lot of time off for Jewish holidays, September 19 is the big day.
I told my boss, even though I was leaning towards not telling anyone, and she was very supportive about it.

I got my date today! September 11th! I couldn't be more excited! I'm in New Jersey. Good luck and hopefully we can support each other through it!

Did you tell your boss, coworkers, HR, or no one about your surgery? If not everyone knew, how did you handle people noticing your weight loss and changes in your eating habits?

Hello. I haven't had surgery yet. I just completed all the requirements of my insurance and the dr will submit to insurance this week. I am 5'7 about 238 pounds. My goal is to be 170.
I am very excited for the surgery but the only aspect that makes me apprehensive is my hiatal hernia. The doctor told me he would fix that while he was doing to band.
Anyone had this done with or without their surgery? Is it very painful? Any other problems you experience due to hiatal hernia repair?
