Hi all! I am a bandster!! I arrived at 9 am but my surgeon was in another case do I didn't go to the OR until 2pm. I had my hiatal hernia repaired and I'm headed home now! (730pm)....I am so very glad it's done!

Wow!!! You are on your way home, that's great!!! The wait until 2 must have been hard but now it was worth it. Happy for you.

How are you feeling?

How long was the surgery for the band+hernia? That's what I am having done.

Go you!!!!!!

I am ok. Sore, but ok and SO glad that's over!! The surgery lasted about 2 hours. I have 6 incisions, but all went well! I'm so excited!

Congratulations. Make sure you take your medicines as prescribed. Don't try and tough it out. I also had hernia repaired and band placement. I had more discomfort under my breast bone where my hernia repair was than with the band. Sip Water and walk often. It will help with any trapped gas.

Best wishes and Keep the Faith.

congrats hun !
