Hi everyone, I just got banded on Wednesday and I'm still feeling weak today. Is this normal? I haven't taken any pain medication in 24 hours but I extremely lightheaded. Any suggestions? I want to hear all of your advice and suggestions. This is like a whole new beginning for me! Thanks:help:

I'm a January bandster (1/24). I did it as soon after the holidays as I could!

I was banded on the 24th and I also have those pains. They radiate to my back which makes it extremely uncomfortable to sit or lie in any position. I did figure out though that if you lay on your side and do some deep breathing, it seems to help ALOT!

Feeling great today. Start back to work tomorrow. I'm nervous about that.

Thanks for all of your replies. I feel so much better today! A little soreness and bruising, but, no more lightheadedness. Yesterday was also a good day. In fact, I'm going back to work tomorrow. According to my Dr., I can now have a soft foods diet which includes fish and cooked vegetables. I had a very small portion and so far...GREAT! I was able to be very full and satisfied on a small amount. I hope it isn't bad that I'm already able to eat with no trouble. Alot of you sound as if you survived on liquids for quite awhile. Any idea why my Dr. switches his patients to a soft diet so soon after surgery?

I went throught that same thing with my husband. Let me guess...he's never had a weight problem? It took me 5 years to get my husband on board and even after 5, I had to cry. Good Luck...I just had mine done 2 days ago so I don't know if it's worth it yet. One can only hope!

My back pain is still here. Not as bad. I'm constipated. I'm confused about whether or not to eat. I'm weak and dizzy. Codone makes my ears ring. I'm having headaches. I'm happy and discouraged at the same time. :help: :clap2: :scared: :eek: :straight
