Hello I'm 6 days post opt from the band I'm having bad should pains, also I have to use a heating pad to help ease the pain. Also having bad taste buds from all the liquids. Kinda hungry but hanging in there it seems like at night my stomach feels really heavy and full.. I have my first follow up a ppt on next Monday .
I would say walking as much as you could and pain meds
. I also had some sugar free apple juice and that seemed to make me have first bowel movement and that helped alot .... Good luck....
Im ready my journey starts tomorrow I can't believe it's already here I will keep everyone posted and good luck to all the others for the same day or for this up coming week. God bless....
