First I should tell you all that I have forever struggled with anxiety about my health. Since I have got home from the hospital on Wednesday I just keep thinking that I am going to have a blood clot. I have given myself a number of panic attacks over this in the past days. Does anyone know the stats of blood clots after lap band surgery and for how long after surgery does a person have to be concerned with blood clots.

I had my surgery 11/20 and I still have it. It is the most horrible feeling. The gas pains were worse than incisions.

Thank you everyone for your responses. I woke up this morning telling myself that I am not going to think about it. The most I sit for is a half hour to an hours and my 2 and 4 year old have me up getting something. I have been up cleaning and doing things around the house since I got up this morning and I feel so much better.

My nutrionist said that I could have my one cup of coffee in the morning with fat free half and half and splenda. I didn't have it the 2 days after surgery but I have had it ever since.

I was banded on Tuesday and I also have the back and side pain. It is mostly on the left side of my back and my ribs on the left. It is probably gas. Walk and try some gas x that is what I have been doing and it seems to be getting better.

Hi everybody. I have been lingering on the site for a few months now and this is my first post. I had my surgery on Tuesday and everything went good. I have a little bit of pain in my shoulder and in back and ribs but not to bad. I came home yesterday and had a good nights rest. I woke up this morning and put my glasses on and it seems like my vision is blurry? It was fine yesterday and fine after I came out of surgery on Tuesday so I am really nervous as to why today my vision is blurry. Has anyone experienced this?

I did have the patch but they took it off yesterday before I left the hospital. I am wondering if it is a side effect of the Roxicet that they gave me for the pain. It seems to be better now but I hadn't taken any of the pain med since 4 am this morning. I just took a dose now so we will see if it gets blurry again. I have horrible anxiety anyway so every little thing that is different freaks me out.
