Well, My name is Britt I am 20 and yesterday I had my band inserted, 10/12/10. My Dr. was great, I stayed overnight to prevent clotting. I just got home this after noon and I am having a bit of a panic issue. I have played hockey my whole life and I guess the way I am feeling now is making me worry I won't be able to live normal. Does anyone else play any pretty rough sports? my doctor said I would be able to, but I guess I am just being a baby lol. I am experiencing pretty painful gas in my stomach and pains from the gas in my chest. Trying to walk as much as possible but my meds make me just pass out! I was told it is normal to feel some regret but once you start to feel human again things get better, did anyone else feel this??? Thanks!! Britt

Hahaha, cool! My 21st birthday was actually the 11th. So I spent me birthday dealing with the effects of a bottle of mag citrate hahaha, that stuff was wicked!! The gas sucks.. really bad... I sure hope so. I had to stay overnight Tuesday in the hospital and the nurses little station was right outside my room and they were so loud all night I got no sleep at all. It was refreshing to sleep in my own bed last night with peace and quiet. I took off my band aids today and I felt like a baby. the incisions are so itty bitty lol! I am glad to have someone to talk to who's surgery date was so close to mine!! Did you have staples, glue or stitches??

Thanks so much for the replies, I needed it so bad. I have been home crying all night. I am glad I am not the only one who was scared after, not just before.
