Had my surgery Friday 04/27/07 and I feel preety good except my throat still hurts and some pressure on my chest. My doc had to repair a H. Hernia so Im not sure if thats why I have so much discomfort in my chest or not. I will be glad when this part is over but I am so ready to start my weight loss journey.

Thanks for all your posts it really helps to read them.:faint:

Its so exciting to hear you are on your way! I hope to be soon! Good luck with everything!!

I also had a hernia repaired...I had the chest pains and in my back...the doctor said I would hurt mostly in my back from the hernia repair....After a couple of days, it went away...

Congratulations on your band....

Hi Janell,

I just saw your post and I was banded the same day. I'm just now starting to feel great. My doctor does some extra stiches to prevent hernia's so I think that is why I had so much pain. I went back to work last Thursday but wish I could have had all last week off. I've only told 3 people at work so I didn't want too many people to notice me being gone.

How do you feel now? Are you back at work? I'm still on a clear liquid diet and 3 30 gram Protein shakes a day and have to do that for 4 weeks after surgery so I still have about 2 1/2 weeks left - ugh!

Congrats on being banded!!
