Welcome. I'm nowhere near Australia (though would love to make it there one day). But..... I'd love to be your band buddy. :confused:

Congrats on coming to the banded side. :confused: How are you doing???

Hi,I had my surgery last Wed 2/6/10 and it seemed to go well.I had a Hiatus hernia repaired at the same time.Unfortunately i had a cold all week as well so still feel a bit under the weather.I have some left shoulder tip pain and have been taking Paracetamol only so far since discharge as well as in hospital.I did not have any gas pain just some tightness around my sternum and I was wondering if anyone has any idea how long the shoulder tip pain goes on for ?I have been using hot packs for it but it is really annoying.Also is it normal to feel a bit lightheaded and have a slight headache all the time even though it is 5 days after surgery?

Any ideas would be great.
