I had an upper GI before surgery and it showed a large hernia. They had to do both surgeries at same time since the hernia was right where the band needed to be. If I did not get the hernia out then band might of slipped. The recovery was a little harder but after a week I was fine. They should definitely do an upper GI before surgery.

I'm on my second week post op and for some reason today I was starving. I also went to work and did two clients, (I'm a hairdresser) which was probably not the best idea. In the morning around 8:30 I had a protein shake with half banana and almond milk which waters down the shake so it's not so thick. By 3 p.m. I was feeling ravenous and got a terrible migraine headache. I finally made it home around 4:30 wanting to eat down the cabinets. I ended up making a eggbeater egg white omelet with no fat ranch dressing. It went down easily and it was completely satisfying.
