Hi everyone...banded on 11/19, at Temple Hosp., Phila...doing well so far...really want to sleep on my side or tummy...still uncomfortable at port site...how long till most people can get back to normal sleep positions with comfort? I really appreciate all replies...this website has been very helpful...:girl_hug:

I hear you....I am more gassy at night and much more aware of the noise and bubbles moving around...I think because I am not as distracted when I go the bed and have more time to think....and feel the discomfort...I also was banded on 11/20 and often think as to what have I done....I try to tell myself that I did my homework and that I need to trust in the knowledge I have gathered about this option...I am sure that we....the newbies will find our comfort in our weightloss, and as time goes on... life with a band becomes routine. Keep in touch...

Had my surgery on 11/21...my port site is very sore....when standing, I feel some heaviness on that side and discomfort....how long till this pain passes...I am trying to not use the pain meds...I seem to need to hold that area as I move about...no redness...everything looks like it is healing...besides walking around the house and I am not doing alot...other areas not painful...just wondering when the pain eases....thanks!

Had my surgegy on 11/20...sore at port site...otherwise not feeling too bad...it really was not as bad as I thought it might be...wishing you well with your surgery...hope this is helpful/comforting....just so you know...I am a big baby when it comes to pain/needles/hospital....I am sincere in that it was not bad....Happy Thanksgiving...

I am new to this site...My surgery is scheduled for 11/20...and I am getting very nervous...have lost 7 lbs. on the pre-surgery liquid diet...also hope I am making the right choice...I also appreciate any words of wisdom...having my surgery at Temple Hospital in Phila.:nervous
