hello its been a week and i lost 11 pounds since banding and around 20 for the 2 week preop diet .. so far so good.

Hello all this is my first post i was banded yesturday in the am . I am feeling a lot of pain in my stomach . my surgeon tells my he also repaird a sizable hernia . I am so sour in my stomach i slept around 2 hours if that last night . i was having a really bad back pain probably gas. My electric blanket has helped with that pain. but my stomach is so sour i cant lay down at all without a lot of pain. The only medication for pain i was prescribed was 125mg tylenol with 12mg of codine. but i dont think this is enough. any thoughts out there... thanks

Well at day 5 i can sleep for short periods of time propped up by pillows on bed . I have taken a few small walks most of the pain is soreness and gas but gets better with time tried to have a shake today only got 25% down before it was uncomfortable. will try to eat more later. appreciate all the encouragement.

well I'm 3 days out pain is not bad still cant walk alot. cant take deep breathes feels like asthma is acting up. hard to breath going up stairs if doesnt improve will start with inhaler. i generally get seasonal asthma and oct is prime time for it . asthma or gas not sure. also have diarrhea today. i had more water still not 64 onces only around 50 will try harder tomorrow. thanks again for the advice.

thanks again i feel much better the ice did the trick and upped the water intake not much of a appitite. just some broth and jello today. gas wasnt too bad (not yet) trie dto walk a little too sore. but one step at a time right?

thanks for the response. i havent been keeping up with ice. but i will for next few hours then i will call doc this morning.
