Banded in Overland Park, KS at WLSC by Dr. Nigro. I had a large hiatal hernia that was repaired during the banding procedure. It takes me about 30 minutes to drink a cup of coffee and it is very uncomfortable going down. I assume that I have a lot of swelling because of the hernia and hopefully things will get better. I am a 64 yr. old male with a bmi of 36.
