Hey all you friday banders! I'm officially joining your ranks as I too was banded Friday, 11/16. Surgery went great, so I'm told...gotta love that anesthesia! But I'm having a lot of pain on my left side and the vicoden my doc gave me just aint cuttin the mustard. I think the pain is more gas/bloating pain than anything...anybody got any suggestions on how to get rid of that, or is it more or less a "tough it out" kind of thing? All in all I'm SUPER excited...I know I shouldn't be weighing myself yet but mainly concentrating on healing but I couldn't help myself. Down 3 pounds and feelin hopeful for the first time in a long, long while. Gratz all you newly banded, and chin (or chins, what have you...) up! We'll all feel better soon!
