well here goes this is day two out of surgery, i had my gastric band on friday 27th november which was myt wedding annaversary as well i have had alot of pain due to wind rolling under my stitches and feel like i been kicked a few times round a football pitch but am glad i had it done, i was told i wouldnt feel any restriction untill my first fill but i am sure i can either that or its just the swelling iunside not sure yet.

i still cant lay on my side but it will come soon i hope i hate sleeping on my back well thats it for today just taken pain killers so gonna go a relax for a while till they take effect

I hope you have that abdominal binder..it will get you comfortable especially on your side, much faster. You can get one at a drugstore. It keeps your belly tucked in so it doesnt schlump over and pull! I had amazing restriction and no appetite for probably a month after surgery..enjoy it...good luck!!

Congrats! In due time sweetie! You will be on your side sleeping in a few days. Move, move, move! The more you get around and move the quicker you will be sleeping better. I promise! Put a pillow close to your belly when lying on your side. It helped to put a little pressure there when i slept. I am only 11 days out from surgery so it is still fresh in my mind. Good luck.
