Hi Amy Thanks for your reply, I do have a heat pad so i will try that out, Its only been just over 24 hours so I'm bound to have some pain.. just been on the scales and I have gained 3 pounds, it must be the swelling? I have not eaten a dam thing. Cathy x

Hi all I had my band fitted yesterday, the op went fine but boy I'm in pain, it seems to be in the middle just under my breast bone and goes in to my back, my tummy is very swollen how long will this last? I have just had a protien drink, could only manage a bit, but water goes down better. I do feel hungry but I dont if you kno what I mean. many thanks Cathy x

Thank you all for your well wishes, the pre op diet was horrid for the first 3 days. i found eating a banana and a milky coffee helped me loads, i have a bowl of fresh fruit with a weight watchers yogurt at the evening, milky coffes do help so get plenty of milk in.. good luck everyone who is nearing there op date.
