Just wanted to say hello my name is Robin .

I just had my surgery last Friday April 2,2010.

I was held over night ( my doctor said I looked too green). I was glad he was being careful. I have a history of vomiting after surgery. I was given a seasick patch behind my ear,seabands and I still was green. I didn't vomit. YEAH! Post op I had the left shoulder pain. That was a 8-9 at times. I had so much gas. Unfortunatly the other problem I had was a IBS attack. Although it doesn't take much to bring one on . Shoulder pain is gone, diarrhea as well. The surgery itself wasn't a problem. BUT.... the port is on my right side at my waistline and because I was having extreme diarrhea for three days the port location is SORE!!! Hopefully this to shall pass. Especially when the belly folds of fat decrease.

Time for rest.

You sound like you are going to be just fine. ;-) This is the time to heal yourself. I also had a brief diarrhea attack but it does go away. Drink your fluids and follow all the rules. With the nice weather get out and walk it helps so much with the pain. Keep a positive attitude and time will pass. Best wishes to you on your journey. imaluckydog

Congratulations on your band! I was just banded on 3/22 and feel wonderful now. Get some rest but also try to walk a bit because it really helps with the gas pains.
