hi schexschex
the pain your having will be from the opp not the hernia as your dr has fixed it they pump you up with gas while getting your band fitted it took a few weeks for the gas to leave my body I took painkillers and windeez and walked about this helped me my husband had to wind me like a baby hope this helps you
I have a hernia after getting banded my dr said it was'nt a problem to get it fixed they use cameras when their fitting the band so they can see where the mesh is my friend got a hernia fixed while getting her band in.
I was banded on November 08 in Belguim by Dr Chris de Bruyne.I lost 2 stone at the start because of swelling after the opperation and could'nt eat very much then put it all back on again.I could'nt get to grips with the head hungers.I'm still not at my sweet spot but have started to loss a bit. it's hard trying to change all my bad habbits.anyone had the same problems please get in touch.
