hi i also got banded on monday..Monday night about 1:00 a.m. I woke up with tons of pain in my lower abdomen. I hadn't peed much and was dying of thirst. I started drinking, walking, drinking, walking, etc. I though for sure I had a UTI. Tuesday morning by 9:00 a.m. I was a little better. They gave me meds for a UTI and sent me home. I walked, drank, walked pretty much the entire day at home and most of that night. Today, four days out, I still have some gas pains in my upper left arm and burp, when getting up and down. I need to keep walking and can eat 6oz of my protein shake in an hour. Love my popsicles and can't stand the taste of my pain meds. I take them because I don't have any reason to prove to anyone that I'm strong through this. I have reduced the amount though...Hang in there guys.. and all I can say is walk. I even swept the kitchen living room and dining room at 4:00 a.m. today for something to do..:thumbup:
