Hey guys....it's over and I'm so glad to be home and a chance to sleep in my own comfy bed tonight! It went ok I think,as far as the banding goes,I have little or know pain in the tummy area,however there was a hernia issue and it had to be stitched to my diaphram or something and I cannot take a deep breath or it reaaly really pains throughout my chest so I'll be glad when that pain subsides.I also have the gas thing going on...how long does it take for that to go away?All in all I'm glad to be done and home.Rod Stewart was Awesome,so worth it to hear him live at the AC. Hey thanks everyone for your support it helped many times keep me optimistic.YEAYEAYEA I'm Done!:clap2: :clap2: :clap2:

Astrotoes: Welcome Home! The gas usually lasts a couple of days. Try to walk as much as possible. Some people swear by 'Gasx', but others say it does nothing. It does help not to lie down flat.. sleep on an incline (reclining chair handy?)... It's a whole new world out here!

Astrotoes, welcome home. It would be very cool to see Rod Stewart. I am sorry to hear about your hernia. Did they repair it at the same time? Hope you are feeling comfortable and getting lots of Vitamins, liquids and walking. Take Care.

Welcome home Astrotoes, glad everything went okay for you, i had a hernia repair done at the same time also, i did not even know i had a hernia.

The gas pain will subside in a few days, i found walking helped me, again welcome back you are now on the band side of life, after your healing time is up you will be able to post lots of great weight losses.

Hi thanks for the encouragement everyone,Irishmist did you have a hard time taking a deep breath without pain after your hernia repair?Or is it even the hernia repair that causes this?

[Irishmist 0]

Astrotoes, i did not have pain like you are describing, i only had the gas pain in the shoulder area.

Yes I think that's what he called it, he said my heartburn issues would be fixed now that it's been repaired. Yea,I feel like I got a 2 for 1 bargain:D ,just wish I could take a deep breath

It is likely a hietal hernia that he fixed. They scars are in the same position as the lapband. In fact, I have already lied & told someone this is what I am going to be away from work for.
