Congrats! I was banded the same day!! Hope you're feeling well. I'm nervous + excited, but still in some minimal pain.

We can do this!!

I waS also banned on the 21st and I have had some problems but got it corrected. They left the primer Fluid in the band. Had to go back to Dr. office and get the fluid removed. Got a reality check on what the fill process would feel like. I am sure it won't hurt as bad after you get healed up. They withdrew 3cc of fluid and I was set free. I went 4 days post op before I got relief. Now I am getting fluids and getting stronger every day. Good Luck and be patient.

happy for you all on your success however mine was not so good. I had surgery June 23,2010 and had to have the band removed on June 28,2010... very bad experience for me... I had severe nausea and it NEVER stopped after 5 solids days of it i couldn't stand it anymore and went to ER for multi testing,.. I have very severe motion sickness guess my stomach could not stand the pressure on my stomach!!! dr never gave me a reason, just well don't know.... sure wish someone, ANYONE would have let me know that motion sickness could be a bad thing for lap band surgery!!! It has been a very costly mistake on my part but I am feeling better, PTL~~
