I am 8 days post op, band to RNY. Pain was intense first few days. Yesterday, hardly any pain but this morning is a different story. I do find that I have tolerable pain when I wear my binder. Only one BM since surgery, so going to start the Miralax today.
Remember to take it easy and only do as much as your body will allow. Best of luck and love on your journey and hope you have relief sooner than later.
