  1. I have had a slow recovery due to a surprise hiatal hernia repair. The swelling has caused even more pain in my shoulders along with a feeling of a large knot in the middle of my chest. I wasn't able to keep down the protein drinks so my doc wanted me to come in for a barium swallow and x-ray to make sure the band was seated correctly. The band was in the correct place but very tight due to the swelling. I was put on clear liquids and have a f/u on Tuesday. Unfortunately, by Friday night I was feeling better and didn't follow my doc's instructions. I decided to have a lean cuisine meal..... bad idea! I felt fine during and after I ate but in the morning my shoulder pain was worse than ever. I never learn! I am still a little bloated but feel better now. I am sure I will progress as long as I behave myself. I know this was the right decision for me.

     

    How have you been doing? Are you having any pain and/or nausea? I would love to keep in touch with you to share our journey.
