    Hi All! Newly Banded As Of 9/27!

    I was banded on 9/17 with a hiatal hernia corrected and I had a difficult time the first week with pain and breathing. I wasn't getting enough liquids (only about 5oz) I was admitted to the ER for dehydration then the next day I saw my Doctor she said keep trying a couple more days but after the weekend I still wasn't getting any better and in a lot of pain, so my Nurse Prac decided it was best to deflate my band. She removed 3cc and after I had another IV bag of fluid and soon after I felt so much better. The pain stopped and I was able to start moving forward with my diet. I took my pain meds every four hours for the first week but after deflation I haven't taken my meds except once or twice with a little port site discomfort when sleeping.
