Hello everyone, My name is Holly and I was banded yesterday morning. When I got home yesterday afternoon the pain was so unbearable that I almost started crying. My husband went to get my pain medicine and gas x and then I started feeling better. I did not get much sleep last night because of the uncomfortable, painful feeling in my stomach. I try to walk around as much as I can, but get tired quickly and hurt really bad. I can't lay on my back and I am basically having to sit up with pillows behind me. I am on thin liquids for another five days and then go to thicker liquids. Does this get easier? I never imagined there would be so much pain, it even hurts to breathe in deeply. I am trying to be positive and keep thinking about how much I wanted this surgery and for how long. Thanks

I am looking for a lap band buddy in my area. I live in Oyster Creek, Texas. Really just want a buddy for support and maybe an exercise buddy. If anyone lives in Oyster Creek or any of the surrounding cities, Angleton, Lake Jackson, Brazoria, Freeport and would like to start a support system please let me know. Holly

Welcome! Congratulations on your band!

Congratulations!! That is awesome!

Thank you everyone for your support. Today is Day 3 and I am feeling better. I still hurt, but I can definitely tell a difference in the pain level.

I would love to join this challenge. I just got banded yesterday and I am ready to start losing weight! It is definitely easier to have a support group when you are trying to lose weight.
