i was banded yesterday, felt great! Last night i could not sleep in the bed it hurt to lie down so i slept in the recliner. Today however i feel as though i too have been kicked and punched in the stomach several times. the physician had to also do a umbilical hernia repair on me so i wonder if that is why i am hurting. been up walking around trying to walk off the pain, hoping too feel better soon. it will def be worth it in the long run!
