Newly Banded

[jguttery 0]

As of yesterday I am banded. The surgery went well, and a one night stay in the hospital. I'm sore, especially around the port area. Feeling a little better tonight than I did this morning. No bad gas pains....thank God!!! Trying to stay hydrated.. and sipping, sipping sipping.

Good for you! By the weekend you will be feeling more like yourself. I was banded last Monday and by Saturday I finally felt like me. And every day feeling better and better. Wishing the same for you!

You guys are lucky... in my experience I had so much pain they had to put me on prescription pain meds.

I am so happy it is going well for you.

For me it got better the second week after I had my surgery. By then you will probably not feel anything at all.

Great Job John...

I had my band on monday and was home by 12:30.

It all went very fast.. pain is turning to soreness but I have some leg cramps today that are making me worried about not getting enough Fluid intake..

glad you are doing well.
