Was banded in oct and finally just got my first fill yesterday. I was sore afterwards.

I had hiatal and unbilical hernia repairs all done on the same day as my lap band surgery. My doctors had to fix a torn muscle in the abdominal wall from a botched surgery that happened when I got a complete hysterectomy,and the muscle tear was just left and not fixed. Because of all of that my stomach was so sore after my lap band and I ended up having 9 incisions. Healing was very very slow and when it came time for my 6 wk first fill I was not healed enough.

I hope this works. <a href="http://www.TickerFactory.com/weight-loss/wgrPkQ6/"> <img border="0" src="http://tickers.TickerFactory.com/ezt/t/wgrPkQ6/weight.png"></a>

Hi! Everyone I am new to the site. I have been on the supervised weight loss for 6 mo and now I am getting close to ending my journey. My surgery date is set for Oct. 17. I too am having my lap band with a hiatal hernia and also an unbilical hernia repair. I am so new to all of this stuff. I don't know what to expect and am scared about after surgery and the pain,my emotions,and the new me. Does anyone who has already been through this offer me any encouragement. I look forward to sharing this journey with you.
