I was banded on Thursday, October 16th, and I really didn't feel close to normal until today. The gas pains are finally gone. The incision near the port is tender, but that is all.

Was banded on 10/21 - back in my hospital room by 10am. Nurses had me up walking by 11am. Everyone I had spoken to had told me to walk and walk and walk. I did, and knock on wood, I have not had gas pains that others have experienced. I am sore on my port side (left) but find getting up and down to be easier and easier........ I am going back to work on Monday and hoping that I will feel even better.

I didn't drink much liquids or Protein on 10/22 when I got home from the hospital. Was able to drink 32 oz of Water and most of my Protein shake during the day. Today 10/24 I have eaten broth (a little) at lunch, sipped on my 42 gram proteim EAS shake during the day and still working on 32 oz of water...........yes, i know it needs to be more Water but I just am still trying to get it down right now.

What has been your worst day since banding (healing process).

      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!!
