Hiatal Hernia Repair When Banded?

[Baba Wawa 543]

I had mine fixed when I was banded. The surgery was longer, 3.5 hours, the recovery was a bit longer. I had some bruised lungs, even coughed up bloody mucus for a few days and it hurt to breathe. My reflux has returned due to my band tightening on its own, had 3.5cc in 11cc band, now completely unfilled while my esophagus and stomach recover.

I suppose it could be just gas. I am still gassy at times' date=' lol. But no pain in shoulders anymore and gas comes and gos but the pain is pretty constant but not terrible...kinda like what it feels like when you eat something cold too fast[/quote']

Idk what to say but every question I ask ppl keep saying every body and every doctor is different. I would def call the doctor

I had my surgery Friday the 15th. Two days ago I started getting heartbearn. My chest still feels a little tight. I called the dr yesterday and he said to take my zantac and then lets see in another day. He may need to let some of the saline out, because he puts some in when he does the surgery. I'm now scared.
