New question...I have had severe GERD since I was a teenager. Now 46 it is horrible. My primary was excited I am getting a lap band and says it should help the GERD alot. I was looking into the Linx band for GERD but have an issue with magnets in my body and it would not help my weight at all. Anyway I read about GERD and reflux being better and worse after lap band. What are your personal experiences?

I am scheduled for next Monday April 18th. Had my last appt pre-op with the doc today. All is on track and no issues. I am so ready but now the stress of the actual procedure is kicking in.

Day 2 post op and I am in pain but glad it's over. Bo complications other then they found a mass on the side of my stomach. They removed it and sent it pathology so we will see what that was about next week. I can't wait for the swelling and pain to go away.

Mass they removed is cancerous. Seeing an Gasyro-Oncology specialist next week but my regular doc assumes radiation only because it looks like the removed the entire mass. We will see. I am 11 days post op lap band and feeling much better. Eating bits of soft food and doing good. Concentrating on the weight-loss

      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!!

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!
