Hi All, I got banded in Hurst, TX on Friday the 5th. I have over 100 pds. to lose. I was in and out of the surgical center within 4 hours. After the 45 min ride home I began to feel the pain in my left shoulder and breast. It was so painful! Plus the soreness of my surgery in my belly. It was difficult gettting comfy in any position. I got up every two hours to walk around the house and go to the bathroom. Started running low grade fever (100.3) around 7pm. I was taking my antibodic and pain liquid vicodin as prescribed. Still in pain and not feeling like I would of done this procedure if I knew of this type of pain. It's hard to breath. And hard to get up from a sitting or laying down position. Has anyone felt the same? :wub:

Hi There, This is my first visit here too. I got my lapband done on Friday, June 5th. 2009. You know I am from TX too and I was suprised that they getcha in and out of there as fast as they can! And then to read others stories of staying all day into the night sleeping/resting...? What and why were we treated so different? I had my surgery in Hurst. How about you? I have over 110 pds. to loose and I am grateful that I was able to have this done. However, I had no idea of how painful it would be. I have had 2 c-sections and 2 other surgeries and never suffered like this. I have incredible pain in my shoulder, under my left breast, and pain in my belly. I am also running a low grade fever of 100.2 at night. This is day three and I am trying to stay as grateful and positive as possible. Some of the symptoms I mentioned have gotten better but new ones have popped up. Like when I go from sitting/laying down to standing I feel like throwing up. I have had nothing to eat but clear liquids since Thursday. Have you experienced any of this? Take care. Kris :thumbup:
