I was banded the same day and also had a hiatal hernia repair. I also have chest pain and love my meds, Hydrocodone is my case. I posted something about this, this week and few banders who also had hernias repaired complained of the same problem so I think it's normal. I use the breathing thing they gave me at the hospital. That helps a little. Drinking Water and coughing wih a pillow over your stomach also helps.

Thankful to find this topic! I'm 6 days post op and having the same intense chest pressure - it really isn't fun. I also had the hernia repair. Glad to know it's not something to worry about! :)

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      I would like to know what questions you wish you had asked prior to your duodenal switch surgery?
