I have just completed all requirements for the lap band surgery and have met my weight requirement and I am waiting to hear from the surgeon to set my surgery date. I am nervous about how I will feel right after surgery. I would like to know as far as pain goes, what to expect.:thumbup:

I was extremely tired for about a week and a half. Some people bounce back within 4 days. For some reason, it took a little longer. I really didn't experience much pain from the incisions or the gas pain. I was very fortunate. I am a stomach sleeper, so it was difficult for me to sleep on my back. Do exactly what the doctor tells you to do. Take the pain meds whether you think you need them or not. I was trying not too, and was told to take them. They help you rest more comfortably. I had more pain from having my gallbladder removed a few years back than from this surgery. You will do well. Congrats!!
