Well I was banded on Monday.No complications; it just took him extra time based on my circumstances.

My previous gallbladder and exploratory abdominal surgery had left scar tissue he had to dissect. My Hiatal Hernia was very easy to fix apparently 1 stitch in front 2 in back.

The odd part was the band placement. My Pancreas sits higher and closer to my stomach than is normal so he had to place the band higher and give me a smaller pouch so the band wouldn't interfere with my Pancreas.

Total time under was 2.5 hours.

I'm very sore though.; sitting up straight and bending r very painful. I'm trying to get in my liquids. Well off for another cat nap then to make a few phone calls.

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
