So I'm 4 days post op, feel horrible I'm in so much pain, I'm so hungry, everyone is eating pizza in front of me, I can't sleep the anti-blood clott injections really hurt so much I can't do them anymore I just want to crawl into a cave and never come out so unhappy and sore, feel like things will never get better. Sorry for sounding so moany, but nobody can relate or understand (my family). Sent from my iPhone using LapBandTalk

Thanks guys, yea I know it will get better I guess, just doesn't feel like it right now stuck indoors with nothing to do and I don't want to go out because I havnt showered properly since 4 days ago!! Washed my hair once since then but really hurt to bend over the sink so I'm just going to wait. Just one of those depressing days I guess Sent from my iPhone using LapBandTalk

I'm 2 days post op too and I'm super sore, I feel really bloated and swollen and my incisions really hurt, I need help to get in and out of bed! All my muscles hurt and it's difficult to just lay on my back in bed, I have the urge to roll around but can't wind pain sucks too but peppermint tea does help and walking around is the best! I hope I feel better soon though, because i feel so awful right now Sent from my iPhone using LapBandTalk

I arrived at the hospital today to get my blood tests done, the doctor who done it wasn't very nice and it worrys me about tomarro I have deep vains and he stuck a needle in both wrists, both arms, left hand and left foot I feel like a pin cushion, and now I'm super worried about my op tomarro morning any words of wisdom/advice?

Best of luck, I was banded yesterday I'm so happy the op is over and done with. Sent from my iPhone using LapBandTalk

I got my surgery this morning and last night I was crapping myself! I was SO nervous, I just kept thinking of the worst! I hardly slept and I felt like I was going to throw up. Now after surgery I really should have saved myself all that stress and worry because it really is how people say. In the operating room the doctor layed me on the table and injected me and said it was pain relief and I literally conked out, I was totally put for the count, next thing I woke up, didn't even know if I had surgery or not until I tried to wriggle in bed and felt some pain, they gave me morphine and I didn't feel a thing! I was just so happy it was over and now I'm not I'm much pain, I know it's hard not to worry.. But trust me, save your energy, these is NOTHING to fear, I've felt worse pain hitting my big toe off a chair haha best of luck pet. Sent from my iPhone using LapBandTalk

Just got banded 4 hours ago, I was SO nervous but it wasnt as bad as I expected woke up with pain but they gave me pain relief and now I'm fine, just drugged up so sorry if I spell things wrong lol the funny thing is that I don't feel like there's a band inside me :/ lol it's strange.

I mean I'm no doctor or anything but I would just say its your internal stritches healing still of course we will have lumps and bumps for a while but if they are really concerning you, if they are uncomfortable or oozing still then call your doctor/consultant. Otherwise I wouldn't really worry about it. Sent from my iPhone using LapBandTalk

Thank you <3

Everything went well, better than I expected, got my band 6 hours ago and i feel fine just some wind pain but I can drink water, tea and hot chocolate, worried my band isn't working already because I can drink so much!

Thanks guys! I feel weird though, like I feel there is no band in me? I can drink a fair big of water. I suppose in 2 weeks il soon realise how much of a difference it makes when I eat soft food? Anyone else ever wake up after their op thinking 'hold on.. I don't feel like anything is inside me, and I can drink quite a bit of fluids?'

Whoops I ment 'NOW' not 'no' lol these pain killers really get to ur head! Lol

Thanks yea just walked around the hospital corridor so I'm doing good

No need to be so rude, sorry I spelt it wrong :/

Yea I try to be supper sweet when I'm in hospital or at the doctors because I usually get grumpy nurses but then they lighten up when I had samonella when I was 17 a grumpy nurse kept poking me with a needle 8 times 8 different places! Eventually I burst out crying and said 'I'm sorry I've just been though a lot today' and I think she felt bad and turned out really nice lol yea I really hope it goes well, super nervous lol thanks

Ok, So I'm getting banded on Sunday 12th and can't wait, I've only told my mum, dad and partner. I don't want anyone to know (personal preference because where I'm from word gets out). The problem is, my best friend is going away to university in september and it's her birthday 5 days after my op and she wants to go party and I agreed to it (only of I'm feeling up to it, just goin to sit all evening, no dancing or drinking). But the problem now is she's going for a meal at our favourite Chinese and just told her I'm on a diet and I can't eat Chinese (literally can't eat 5 days after op!) and she just keeps saying 'aw just treat urself once, it's my last birthday here because I'm leaving the country to go to university) so I feel super bad and I can't back out of my best friends final birthday in the same country as me, she will never forgive me, and I can't tell her I'm getting my op because I'm worried she'll let it slip to someone any advise? What would you do?

Thanks tmf, she is a really really good friend but I know for a fact she will tell her boyfriend, they are really close, and I just don't want anyone to know. Yea I guess il just have to tell her I can't go, but I just hope she doesn't get pissed at me when she leaves for university
