I finally got my surgery date! Tuesday 8/28/07. I am having it done at Legacy Good Sam in Portland, OR. I can't believe I have finally gone thru the hoops and have a date. My mom is coming up from CA for my surgery and is coming a week early so we can play! I know the 28th will be here before I know it.

Congratulations! You must be so excited. It's good that your mom will be there to help you. My mom will also be helping me with the kids for a couple of days after my surgery on Wednesday. Good luck!

Congratulations!!! I got my date too -- Aug 28th!

Congratulations to all three of you for making it this far. No small feat in and of itself!!!

Monday Aug 13th @ 2:45pm - 4:30pm

Where you there???

I was there...I think I was sittin across from you. Short curly red hair...had on a black w/ white polka dot top. My name is Tracy. LOL what a small world!!!

Hi to all of you, I was banded on the 28th as well. Things are going pretty well. I found out today that my doctor did a hiatal hernia repair when he placed the band. Maybe that is what is making me feel as if I can't take a deep breath? Did any of you have the repair?

I had a hiatal hernia repair too. I only seem to have trouble w. deep breaths when I first get up and am stiff. I do have the referred gas pain in my left shoulder and just lots of gas pain...I do not care for that!

Dear Ivnmylife, Thanks for the response. I'm so new to all of this. I haven't told anyone of this surgery except my spouse and my son, so I'm glad I have all of you to bounce off of. If I didn't fill the restriction in air intack then I think I would feel about 80%. I know it's only been a few days, but it's hard to keep myself down. How are you dealing with your pain and gas? Sorry to ask, but have you had a bowel movement yet?

Banded 8/28/07 S.F. CA
