CHEZNOEL, What do you mean "keep it clean big boy" ?

I just had my surgery, hernia and my lap band on the 8th of November . I've done pretty well but today I'm hurting pretty bad on my left lower side just below the ribcage. Is this normal? is this were the top of my stomach is? I know that sound stupid but I really don't know. If anybody could help please comment, thank you

Thanks SueBee01, ALL you guys are great and thanks for you Support!!!!

Superwoman no, Superman maybe :-)

Thanks Mis73, I've been holding off the pain pills all day. I did take 1 hour ago and the pain is subsiding

Mis72, yes it's under my left arm way above the pain. Do you think the pain is where the band is?

Mis73, It's just to the left lower of the stitch

anybody having problems urinating after surgery? I've been drinking g2 Gatorade all day yesterday and today and cannot urinate but trickles at a time. What can I do?

Thanks mazzak.

Bonmah77 the urine looks dark yellow, does that mean I'm dehydrated?

I wiil drink more then. Thank You CHEZNOEL :-)

Actually I'm not in any pain so I'm really not using pain pills, and I have been outta bed since I got home except for sleeping at night. But thanks SandyC2 it is getting better though.

Thanks SashaWLS.

Stowesuka, yeah I understand what you're saying but I really had no choice but to tell him because he's my business partner, and if I just didn't tell him, I'm sure he would wonder what was going on after I didn't show up for 2 weeks. HAHA.But yeah that's a good suggestion and I might even try it! Thanks for the advice.

Thanks SandyC2 that was very helpful. :-)

Believe me I have ChicagoRose, and Thank you for the good advice.

Banjo257, yes I play the Piano. I also play for our church, I play Guitar and Bass too, but not at the same time ,ha ha. I write music some, like to play jass but I mostly play Gospel. As far as concerts, I use to play for a country groups at Dollywood and recording studios for a living. I also like to sing. But now I like to use my talant for God. :-)

Thanks! LovetheNewMe.

Kayna you're exactly right, I already feel better, mentally and about my future awesome!!!

Oh and thanks Maddysgram and SandyC2

Yes, I have walked a lot today but I'm not overdoing it. Anything for the dry cotton mouth anyone? I've tried cough drops, and they seem to work a little along with the G2 Gatorade.

Thanks Banjo257 :-)

Hello supporters, my surgery went well today but my mouth is extremely dry, I have a bad case of cotton mouth. I'm still sippin on g2 Gatorade and it's helping but don't last it comes back immediately. But I would like to say thank you from the bottom of my heart to everybody that commented on my post, you don't know how much I appreciate it and to have that kind of support, it really touched my heart and it was very helpful. I'll post more later but for now I'm going to lay down for a few hours. Thanks again, oladad

Yes I know people are rude, it's just he's my business partner and there's really no HR to get involved. My wife says just ignore him , but it's hard expescially right now when all your emotions are screwed up. Thanks guys for all your input and well wishes.

Well it looks like it comes down to less than 24 hours for my surgery. I'm so excited and can't wait to finally be banded! It's been very difficult getting here, but I think that it makes you appreciate it more and prepares you for what's ahead. Is anyone else getting banded tomorrow November 8th? It would be nice to have a buddy for the same day. :-)
