You can try an ice pack on the site. Might help with some of the swelling. Hang in there. I found the recovery of gallbladder surgery was alot faster than lapband surgery. Or liquid tylenol might help too. Tylenol isn't a blood thinner like Advil.

i found this more painfull than lapband lol it was definitely easier to get up and sit down with the lapband, thanks! ill try an ice pack, its safe and all right? ill try tylenol later

I found it much more comfortable to wear something tight fitting like a Spanx to keep everything from getting jiggly after my gallbladder removal.

Hope you feel better soon.
