Recommended Posts

Hi all my name is Tina. I am from Michigan, Metro Detroit area and became a bandster yesterday, 1/12/10. My surgeon, who is wonderful is Dr. Gazayerli of Troy. Along with getting banded I had a hiatal hernia repaired, boy was that news to me.

I arrived at the hospital around 10:30 am and the case in front of me took much longer due to some "issues" so I did not go in to the O.R. until 2:45 uugh boy was I ever frustrated! But all turned out well and here I am. I am sore and the gas pain has been living in my right shoulder since I got home last night, OUCH! But other that that I am doing good and looking forward to all of your support.

;)
