Complete 2nd Pro-Op Meeting w/ Surgeon



Recommended Posts

I can't believe how fast time is going by. I just seems like yesterday I was looking into getting the band and now it's just a few days away. The meeting with my surgeon went well other than he said I have a hiatal hernia that he will be repairing when he puts in my band. Will this add recovery time? Other then the hernia he said everything is looking good for my surgery on Tuesday morning. I will be on the "other" side here in a few days. I am so excited for this new tool.

Jennifer, I am 10 days post op. I also had my hiatal hernia repaired. It made it very difficult to laugh, cough, yell, and sneeze! Today, is the first day I feel painless in my diaphragm area. I find it tender still, but much easier to laugh!

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
