I had my lap band surgery on April 8th went back to work on the the 18th thought I would be fine ,I am an LPN in a nursing home so theres alot of bending and after working all day Fri. I was tired but o.k. then on Sat I worked a 12 hr shift i didn't know if I would make it or not.When I got home I started to have some discomfort right above my belly button then today if I bend at all I have mild pain right at the belly button any one else have any thing like this happen to them? it is really starting to worry me

I think you are probably right about going back to work,I was listening to everyone say how some people are back to work in 3-4 days or out shopping I know I didn't feel that good in 3-4 days & I know everyone is different ...I am going to call the surgeons office in the morning ..thanks for the replyto my question

I noticed the same thing ...and a friend of mine had gastric bypass surgery about 6 yrs ago and has recently started gaining weight back....but she admits she is drinking pop again and alot of other old habits are creeping back in and this is suppose to be a lifetme change if not then what can we expect but the same old thing?

:tongue: Just joined the group hope to be banded in Mar or late Feb... but am planning a trip to Las Vegas and think it might be a good idea to wait??? have found a lot of helpful info on this site, I am glad to know I am not the only one who is so nervous about the whole thing ..am having trouble giving up the junk food (esp. sweets) and diet pepsi...it has been 11 days w/o diet pop and its killing me

Thats what I keep telling myself to be healthier and be able to walk w/o being tired all the time and all the other benefits oh by the way I like bread too! lol
