Hi Nine days in, still have a little pain around my port, totally normal so I'm told Vickie x

Hi Adam, Nine days post op here, not gonna lie to you I was hurting for three days after the op but it was mostly gas pains. I did return to work a week after op, I'm a teacher for 4-7 yr olds and admittedly all the bending down and running around after the kids is tiring and a little sore on the incisions but aside that no real pain. Good luck with it Vickie xx

Hi Kelly Like you I wasn't told about the gas pain and suffered terribly, but nine days in, yes I'm a newbie also, I feel like myself again. Hang in there hun xx

Hi Kelly. I'm only 9 days post surgery and wasn't told about the gas pains at all!! But thankfully they have gone now and for the first time since surgery I feel myself. Hang in there and maybe we can share our experience together and keep each other going?! Xx

YAY!!! Congratulations

Hi there, I'm Vickie, 41 from the UK. I was banded on the 8th April 2013 (one week today,just realised!!) thing is I don't know anyone who has had the op and I'm trying to keep the fact that I've had the band between me and my husband, saving the embarrassment, disappointment and the thought of friends and family judging me as a failure!!! So, I would live to talk to someone who has been there seen it and wore the by-shirt as equally as someone as new to all this as me. I'm very easy going, love a giggle open and honest. So there it is, my plea Take care Vickie x

Thank you JuJu, speak soon xx

Thank you Lose100.Iim so glad I've found you all My problem is I don't really know what to expect, my consultation was brief, and I was having surgery within a month, most of what I know is from YouTube etc..... I wasn't aware of the has pains, boy was that a shocker!!! But I think I'm just about over them now. Does this sound silly when I say that I'm unsure how I'm supposed to feel inside when I eat?? At the moment I'm on the post op liquid diet, but I am drinking so much and eating Soup and so far nothing..... Is it weird that I wanted to have reflux just once to let me know the band was working???? My surgeon Mr Super gave me 1ml at surgery, no one has contacted me since to speak to me about how I'm feeling, next appointment, a fill or anything, is this just the UK way???? Sorry such a long reply Vickie x

Ok so iPhones suck I would LOVE to talk to someone who has been there seen it done it and wore the T- SHIRT!!!!! Vickie x
