Banded yesterday...home today!!!

[adventure-rider 0]

I got banded yesterday and I'm home today. The procedure went well. The surgeon discovered and repaired a hiatal hernia which should take care of the reflux I've had. Like almost everyone following surgery, I'm having some gas pain but it's not unbearable. I also have some soreness around the port and the inisions but I am tolerating that OK too. I appreciate all the advice about walking to releive the gas pain. My wife and I are going to walk to the drugstore to pick up my meds. Good luck to everyone that has been recently banded and continued success to those that have been at it awhile. I have a 350 lb. uncle that I hope to be an inspiration to.

What is your age if you don't mind me asking? I'm a 50 year old male and just wondering about the recovery time. And your 350 uncle what a light weight LOL I'm right at 400 and will be banded on July 11. Take care and good luck.
