I was banded yesterday and so far am in alot of pain but glad to have gotten surgery.Small issues like taking meds for other health issues. I have to look into if insurance will cover disolvable tabs of one med due to cost and why now since I have been taking tabs w/o issue. I was self pay thru True Results with hiatal hernia repair so they dont know about lap band just hernia. I also seem to get the hiccups alot- hope i'm not damaging anything. I'm glad I am taking a week off - wish I could take more but I am out of time at work due to gallbladder surgery earlier this year - oh well I'll just have to deal. Thanks to you all for posting such great topics and answering a lot of my questions. This board has really helped me know what to expect.

Congrats Anissa!

Get lots of rest this week and I'm sure you be up and running in no time. BTW, I've been taking my vits whole since about a week after surgery with no problems. I just take one at a time. My multi looks like a horse pill. I'm sure after I'm filled I'll have to look at other options. I also had a hernia repair during my surgery. Didn't even know I had a hernia. I'm sure burping in fairly normal but if your concerned I would call the doc. There no such thing as a stupid question.

Drink looks of fluids, take long naps, and be kind to yourself.

gentle hugs,
