I was banded last august and i just didn't think i was going to hurt. I had cover for my 2 young children for a couple of days but 2 weeks later my mum had moved in and i was still so sore much worse than having a baby. I am still in my post op pain everyday and i think it was a big mistake to have one put in. But i have read other replys and it has given me hope that i didnt make a mistake and 3 stone down the road i should be grateful i have had the chance to change my life for myself and my wonerful children. Good Luck keep going who knows i am sure i was just unlucky and you will beyour desired weight soon. God how depressing do i sound but i feel so alone i dont know anyone who hasbeen through this. It is so taboo in the uk still.

Hello All I am hoping some of you will be able to help me . I was banded august 2010 and ever since i woke up from the op i have had severe pain not only from the port which i seem to have everyday but on the other side as well. i am so fed up with pain pain pain. If i take pain killers i am so constipated that it takes a week and lots of laxatives to get anything through. Has anyone else had this roblem i have written to my surgeon to ask for it to be removed but he just wanted some tests done which i have done and self paid for to get some answers. My husband wants me to get it our and have my life back. What do i do. I feel i should never have had it done i should have just stopped eatin all the crap. Help Please

Thankyou for your response. I wil take it easy although i have a 3 and 5yr olds dropping stuff all the time . Sarah
