Happy Band day to Me!!

I was banded this morning. So far so good. I am sore and my shoulder/back hurts a little. They found a hiatal hernia and repaired it while they were in there. The doctor said my liver looked good. Weird thing is they sent home before/after pictures of my hernia repair.

 

My throat is REALLY sore and I am very thirsty. I recommend walking around or just get up and move around every hour. It really helps. I also have a heating pad for my back/shoulder. I have an ice pack for my stomach. It is sore where the hernia was repaired. I have a Q-ball that delivers continuous pain meds to my port site for two days and a nausea patch.

 

Deep breaths are hard but I force it and coughing which hurts my stomach a little.

 

All in all, I feel okay considering. Can't wait to see what each day brings. :smile:

Congrats Sounds like your right on track. Each day will get a little better and in a week or so you'll be back to yourself. Take it easy for now.

I get up and take a short walk every 30 minutes. If I don't I get really stiff on the side where my port and hernia repair are. When its too much I sit back down.
