Hiatal hernia repair during lap band surgery
I had my hernia repaired also.I am just sore from where the port and the incisions are.It does hurt for me to cough.I was banded on Tuesday.The pain is much better on today.

What side is your port on ? Can you choose what side ?
I have my port in my chest area too.You can't tell its there unless you run your hands across it.I have an incision under my armpit.
