Your probably not going to feel like walking and moving around after your surgery, but it really does help relieve some of that gas pain. I think because I did move around and walk a good amount I didn't experience the shoulder gas pain, which from what I hear is the WORST!

Today has been a better day for me then the other 2 so I'm praying that it just keeps getting easier from here because I have to go back to work on Saturday.

Best of luck to you!

I'm glad you mentioned photography, because I was a little concerned about the poor lady in the vintage dress that you are going to shoot!

Keep up the great work!

Haha! That would be a bit worrying.

Good luck dont over due follow what they tell you. I had my banding going on my second week now and i was a little sore but not to bad. Just take care of you an do what you feel like your boday can handle. Best of luck to you.

My soreness left on the fifth day after banding, I was walking back and forth in my driveway every morning too to relieve the gas and pain, get some Gas-X you will be glad you did. Get a body pillow if you don't have one, you will sleep better rolled into it too. Also have some small pillows while you are sitting to hug and you sit down and get up as to not pull the port lose. It is stitched in place and that is why you have the pain there more. It was one week before I went back to work. God Bless You and Keep You!
