I was Hurting for about 5days but continued to be tender for about 12 days with it feeling a little better each day. I am now 2wks and 4days out and have no tenderness. I sleep on my stomach so I really felt my tenderness. My doctor told me I healed fast so I may not be tipical. I am also a nurse. Im suprised that you got approval at 170s. I was 247 at 5'2". I lost 13 lbs and then gained 2 back. Too many cal. I hate diet liqs. Oh well I hope this helps. Hang in there. It really does get better. Probly not before you feel frustrated, but that too will pass.

Hello and good luck. Just want to say hello and tell you Im from Louisville as well. I went with University Surgical Assoicates. My surgery was April 20 and I feel great.

:confused: I am 2 wks post banding and find that I really had no clue the change that this would really have on my life. I read every thing and did the classes. Prepaired for two years before deciding to go through with it. Am I lame or what You would think I would have the picture. 7 days post op I woke up one day feeling great and hungry as hell. I was told that the protein drinks would help me not be hungry. Not for me. I grant you I didnt work too hard on the protein because I disliked it. 30 bucks for chocolate and vanilla mix two days drinking it and I could not take any more of it. I gave that stuff away. Then I decided that even though I was supose to be strickly liquids I needed food. So I fixed me some very soft scrambled eggs. That was it no more Liquids for me. Iv been eating carefully ever since day 7. Now what. Im sure I have failed banding 101. I have a major problem with food. So I guess I need to get the psy people involved and try to work out enough of this food problem so I do not hurt myself . I really must lose weight for me and my health problems. So you probly think what an stupid person. Wrong Im a masters prepared Nurse. Just plan old addicted to food.
