I am 7 days post op. I felt really good yesterday not alot of pain going on and then today my stomach is just hurting. Maybe i overdid it yesterday!? I am back to work but taking it easy... Anyone else have this problem..?

DOWN 14 lbs SO FAR!~

I was banded on 3-4 also, and today has been the best day so far. I am still having port (dull) pain when i bend or sit a weird way. Also the gas pain comes and goes but when i have it it is horrible.. Any ideas how long this gas pain will last?

Congratulations to everyone on their BAnd-Day! I am on day 4 post surgery, I can honestly say it has not been all that bad... I have not gotten sick at all and my incisions are healing great! I am only having some chest pain now which is normal and a little gas pain in my shoulder which the gas x strips really help (make sure u take to the hospital with you) and last night i slept all through the night without waking up 4 or 5 times.... GOod LuCk to Everyone! Oh and by the way I am down 14.5 total but 7lbs from the morning of my surgery! YEAH Me!:confused:

Hello Everyone, I had my band surgery on wed. march 4th. So right now i am 2 days post op and feeling a little better then yesterday.. Yesterday i was really sore, the tylenol and ibuprofen were not really killing the pain... I have lost a total of 5 lbs post op and 7 lbs on the pre op diet. So i am down a total of 12 lbs...

yeah ME! Good luck to everyone!

My surgery day is wednesday the 4th and i am very nervous! I have never had surgery before and that is what is really scary for me.. I have been doing really good on the pre op diet, it was really hard at first but by day 4 it was a piece of cake. I am excited about losing some of this extra weight and start feeling healthy! I hope everyone has lots of success with their surgery.
