i was banded the 29th also, the first day lots of pain but feeling better now. Its thrusday night and i haven't had much to drink but i feel vert full. At times today i have felt great and other times asking myself why did i do this. I know i will come out of my funk. Also am i the only one who feels like they are going to rip staples out while sleeping, i hate sleeping on my back, perfer side.
