Hello everyone! I did it!! I had surgery on Dec. 28th. I guess I am a big baby, because I am still pouting. I still have alot of pain on my left side where the port is. The hospital staff was absolutely wonderful! They were all so caring. The surgery went really well, but the recovery was not very fun. I have a lot of tightness in my chest, it is kind of like air traveling up my esophagus really slow, and it is pretty painful. Other than me being a weenie I am fine. I went back to work yesterday, and by the time I got home I was exhausted. Maybe with time my energy level will get back to normal. Thanks for all the encouragement I got from this site. Happy New Year to all!!! ;-)

trichard, I was banded on the day you made this posting. I am 8 days out now, and I have been having the exact same issues that you elluded to in your posting...sore left side & the esophagus pain/spasm. I was just wondering if these things have resolved yet, as I am looking for the light at the end of the tunnel!. Hope everything is going well with you!
