Hi everybody I'm home and banded today at 1:30pm pst. They released me to home at 7pm. The surgeon also repaired a hiatal hernia at the same time. I didn't released earlier because the surgeon was in surgery and no other doctor would release me. The pain I'm experiencing is under the breast bone and its the hernia that was repaired. Very little gas pain so far. Sitting with a heating pad for a bit before I try and sleep some.

Cheers! I'm on the other side now. Hooray and thanks to all for your concerns.

Congratulations and you will be home soon. My first day after and a little sore in bellybutton area but I can manage discomfort. Heating pad works on back and shoulder pains (gas) Be positive on your new journey.

Sound like your dpi g fantastic Roja. WTG!!! I'll be on this side in 8 days. Prayers all around:)!!!

I was banded as well yesterday and had a hital hernia repaired. I am experiencing some abdominal and shoulder pain as well. Hoping the pain subsides soon. Best wishes to you on your journey !

So happy for all the newly banded! Best Wishes for a speedy recovery!

For me, I expected alot worse pain and aches. Guess I'm lucky or can tolerate pain better. Walking is the secret in this, gets your gas to disapate out of your body, walking will circulate blood flow to all recovering areas with oxygen for a speedy

recovery. SIP SIP SIP fluids all day, it will help give your new pouch and stomach a feeling that there is food so when you do eat food, you wont have any discomfort. Your stomach will learn quickly. Cheers

Home doing real good now had a bad day yesterday but so much better now

7 days today feeling real good going to the gym today just walk the track to hot outsinde to walk I'm so excited to see my gym buddy's

I go back to work on Thursday Aug 16. I had a long off time to adjust to the band and eating liquids/shakes/yogurt. I see my surgeon on Aug 21 and thats when I can eat some foods rather than liquids. My healing is almost completed. Ive been walking more and more getting use to exercise again. It doesn't seen like it was a week ago when I was banded,Aug 6.

Be positive and keep the faith.
