    Thanks for the tattoo comment. It's called a flip script. You could probably google it. But it's a site where you put in 2 words and it makes 1 word, very nifty! I just printed it out and took it to my tattoo artist!

    I was banded on 3/18/09 and was in the hospital for 3 days. I got pneumonia and the gas pains were sooooooo bad! I also had a fever and my blood pressure went down to 64/42!!! I was like, what the heck did I do!!??? now it has been 2 weeks - I still have gas and am vomiting, but I feel SO much better. It will get better - it just takes about a week of REST, walking, fluids and deep breathing. . . oh and gas x! Hope you feel better soon. I am not at 100% yet, but I am much better - there is a light at the end of the tunnel - and I lost 17 lbs in a week and a half.

    Back pain AFTER surgery?

    dtrueba replied to megster27's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A

    I too am having back pain (Banded 3/18/09). I am sure it is because our Core stomach muscles have been “attacked” from the surgery. Mine is also because I haven’t been able to sleep flat on the bed because of gas and lung issues I had after my surgery. Lots of different factors I guess. I am alternating ice and heat and keeping up with my Motrin. Also, if you have someone that can rub icy hot on your back – that has helped me too. Last night I finally was able to lay in bed flat on my back with pillows under my legs, I woke up in much better shape than the nights on the couch. J Hope your back starts feeling better soon! I know how uncomfortable it is!

    Congratulations. Your surgery date is coming up real soon. I'm super excited for your surgery because I've never seen a SILS scar. I really hope you share your experience and pics. Good luck and keep us informed on your progress. Everything will be great!

    Hey thanks for the pic's comment! It's nice to have the pic's to see the difference when you feel like your not making enough progress.

    Thank you so much for your comment! That is so cool that you get banded the day after I do! I am sure I will be on this site during my "down time" after surgery! Lets keep in touch! Love the pick - you are very pretty too - no matter what! :-)
