Holy Batman!! This is what I needed to know!!! I googled this problem and found this site....Thank GOODNESS! Now I know what to do to fix this and now I know this is common.....here I just thought it was me! I am new to all of this...banded on May 23.....and still on mushies!:cursing:

Hello...I am new here as of today! I was banded on May 23, 2008. I too went into this blindly, thinking I knew what was going to happen or how I would be feeling....boy was I wrong! I am still on mushies....will be until the end of this week. I went to Mexico to be banded....the cost was half of what they wanted here in the states and my insurance....God bless Blue Cross.....won't pay for this procedure. The hospital, Dr's and staff were GREAT! But I do feel like I have been...let out into the wild with no help or protection what-so-ever! So...thus I turn to the puter and I find this site!! I am having a few problems that some of you might be able to explain.....first I am soooo consipated. It was so bad one night that I was having cold chills and breaking out in a sweat! Pain in the intestinal area and a severe back pain that made it impossible to sleep on either side or on the tummy! I figured out that all of that had to be brought on by being stopped up.....but nothing seems to be working on getting it out! I know I need more Water.....and I feel like I could float the Titantic!! The other problem is a sharp pain right in between the breasts....almost where one of the incisions was made.....feels like a knife being stabbed in me......takes your breath away....anyone had this before?? The last episode happened with just 2 sips of WATER! It only lasts about 15 min or so.....but man does it hurt! Any info or advice would be greatly appreciated!:cursing:
