I had surgery on Friday (11/20) and the doctor found and repaired a hiatal hernia. Had major vomiting after surgery so they kept me overnight. I think the vomiting was due to the pain medication because every time they gave it to me I threw it up and I haven't done it again since being released. I still have a lot of pain and tenderness and it's hard for me to decipher whether it's the hernia or the band. Plus, I have this burning sensation come my chest and stops at my collar bone and I can't burp it out...I have to raise my arms and take deep breaths until it passes...it is very uncomfortable and happens at random, not necessarily after meals. Guess that it's acid reflux or something. I had no problems with heartburn or acid reflux prior to the surgery, so I will be really bummed if I get it now as a result of the surgery...whatever though. I am also randomly dizzy. See my doctors on Monday (11/30) so I hope to get some answers. :thumbup:

Just scheduled my surgery...November 20th. The week before Thanksgiving...UGH! Oh well, I've eaten enough turkey for 5 lifetimes that's for sure. I am very excited to start this new journey.
