I was banded on the 20th. Day 1-2 was rough but have gotten much better by the days to follow. On day 5 now and all pain is almost gone. My only complaint at this time is that when I get up from a reclining or laying down position I get an immediate air bubble feeling just under bmy chest cavity. It does not last long but it is becoming a real annoyance. I can feel it coming on when I start to move and I usually have to stop, let it pass, then resume my activities. I am hoping that this is normal because of the absence of solid food but really do not know. Has anyone else had these problems.
