Hello! I was banded Oct 5th. Everything in the hospital went well but with all the drugs in the world used the gas discomfort in the chest and back did not subside.

How are you doing? All the gas should be gone.

How are you?

That's a lil gas left. I'm still fighting the darkness. Brought a bra tday for the Susan G Komen Brrast Cancer Walk next Saturday. Gotta bling it out. Hopefully I will not shut down and miss out. The plan is to go. :-)

      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!!
