I was also banded on the 16th. My worse day was post-op day 2, I definately needed my pain meds then. My port site does seem to be more tender too. But I was told it would be, from many people. Im good now, I clean and walk around outdoors and on my treadmill, I get a little more tired quicker than normal but I guess its to be expected. Im glad I did it and I have lost 8 1/2 pounds since surgery! Good Luck and dont give up its only been one day!:bored: PS, im also eating solid food and keeping it down and not having any trouble with it. I guess all docs do things differently. BUT what works for one doesnt necessarily work for another. I feel very good.

I was recently banded and was told to take 2 weeks off. I work construction.:biggrin: Ill go crazy for sure!

Getting denied is the pits, I was denied in January. Cigna changed their guidelines in June, and on a whim I decied to contact the center in August, they resubmitted and in a week I had an approval and was banded less than 30 days later! 28 to be exact! Good luck!

I had a problem with my insurance company in January, they DENIED me , I was shocked. I called the surgeon back in August they resubmitted everything and I was approved. It seems I hadnt been fat long enough in January. BUT they changed the guidelines in June and I was approved in August. I just got my band on september 16th, and im doing very well. Lost 7.5 pounds in the past 5 days.
