I was banded on the 2nd Dec and saw the surgeon on the 14th ( last Wednesday ).
He said that the wounds were healing very well and I told him that I was having huge problems with clothing as everything seemed to irritate that area and he said it was because I have a short torso. Yesterday it wasn't just uncomfortable but it became painful to bend over, move my body in either direction and even to sit. Although I feel fit and recovered from the surgery, I actually feel worse than I did during the first two weeks after the band so it's a small relief to see that others are experiencing the same thing although if it doesn't get any better in the next couple of days I will contact him just to make sure everything really is ok!
