Banded Yesterday

[LuvinLife 0]

Hello! I was banded yesterday and so far things haven't been that bad. My biggest complaint would be soreness.

I have a few quick questions.

• My neck is so stiff, is this from me not sleeping normal?
  
• My sinuses are acting up, I am all congested, is that ok?
  
• Where my port is, the area is still numb, is that normal?
  
• Do you keep an ice pack on your stomach where your band is? I have off and on but wanted to know if it did indeed help .
  

That's all for now!! I have been able to drink my Protein Shakes and some broth which has been nice.

congrats om making this life change.. the neck stiffness is normal and i im pretty sure its because of not sleeping right, and i was very congested for the first few days my doc said its pretty normal and to just walk around and do ur breathing excersises. if its still pretty congested after a week i would call ur doc. my cleared up around day 4.

i dont know about the dumbness ur having i could feel everything..i kept an ice pack more on my port side cause thats what hurt the most. i did like 10min on 10 min off.. i think it helped.
