thats greta...they didnt use staples with me, they used some kind of glue to hold my wounds shut and now its all pealed off 10 days post and the are closed nicely...keep up good work!!!

also should note---i was just banded on june 2nd on 2010 so i am only like 10 days post

i have had 2 c sections and the gall bladder surgeries...and the lap band was a piece of cake compared to any of them...you will do just fine...i am the biggest wuss there is to pain and i couldnt or didnt wanna move after any of them surgeries and after the lapband was finished..in at 10am out at 4pm same day....all i wanted was to drink water and walk...i told them this was the best surgery i have ever had and even recovery went great ..my wounds are completely healed still slightly tender at port side tho...and i am doing all my normal activities except lifting....good luck to you and keep us posted....cant wait to hear from you !!!

congrats on your new journey!!! i am 7 days out and am finally feeling somewhat normal again...i took the pain meds the 1st couple days round the clock but then just at night...i had no shoulder pain either....i am not sure what u do for work but dont push yourself too fast to get back...if u need a few extra days, take them...keep us posted and congrats to you again!!!

good luck and u will do fine...i am 6 days post surgery and finally starting to feel more like myself...i stopped the meds last night and only find a lil discomfort on my left side where the port is.....keep us posted

i was banded on june2nd.....and i am feeling pain, mostly at the port area but the meds dont really work...no shoulder pain, tho my 2yr old thinks its funny to smack my belly , i have to be extra careful...i am up and moving, i was able to get 4 protien shakes and 20 oz sobe lifewater in today but it was a chore and i too do not feel hungry, just really thirsty
