pumpkin73 21 Posted October 11, 2013 My surgery was yesterday. It was 3 hours. The majority of the time was spent repairing the hernia. But he was able to remove lapband, repair the hernia and do the bypass. Pain is not too bad just sore from the hernia repair and I have a jp drain and I'm a pain pump line connected to one of the incisions. I hope to go home today. 1 anappleaday reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

pumpkin73 21 Posted October 13, 2013 Can you take gas x? Yes, I can take up to 7 strips a day and I have been walking. I finally passed a little wind yesterday (TMI) & it felt wonderful! I think most of my soreness is from the hernia repair. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
