Banded yesterday along with a hernia repair, so I had to spend the night in the hospital. In minimal pain, thankfully. The gas pain in my shoulder comes and goes, but its manageable. I'm guessing my port site is the area on my tummy that is really sore. Have been using a heating pad in that area. I'm glad to be home, in my own bed since I didn't get a lick of rest in the hospital ... I swear the nurses wait outside the door until you fall asleep! So glad to be banded!!!

Feeling almost back to normal. Still sore on my left (port) side, but from what I have read, that's going to take about a month to heal. Already off one of my BP meds too. Ready to get exercising but the hernia repair has me waiting on that. Scheduled for my first fill on the 26th. I'm ready to see what the green zone feels like :)

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      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!!
