This is my first time posting. I was Realize banded yesterday. Dr. found a hiatal hernia and was able to fix it all laproscopily (thank goodness). Feeling a little sore but that’s it!!! I’m even going to see a movie today. Is it normal not to be in pain? Took some pain meds last night for good measure but I really don’t think I’ll need it. Congrats on your success! I'm sure I'll be checking this forum on a daily basis.
