I feel fine if I'm not moving, but getting up and down is really painful. Will it feel better in a few days?

I'm one day ahead of you (banded on the 25th) and I felt like you do yesterday. It hurt to get up and down, sleeping was uncomfortable. But I woke up today feeling a lot better. I sat up to get out of bed and was surprised that it didn't hurt as much anymore. I'm still sore but it is a lot better. Today the gas is moving through my body but it is not too uncomfortable. Feel better and take care of yourself! I took my pain meds through this morning too.

I feel the same way you do , I just got banded , not 24 hours ago , once I am up am moving around , I figure out it is more comfortable to sit at the computer chair then on the couch

My surgery was on a Monday and I needed help getting in and out of bed and chairs for a couple of days and also had some shoulder gas pains. By that Friday I felt a ton better and by being able to walk more, the gas pains went away and every day as I healed, I was able to get up and down without problems. Give it a week. Good Luck

About 5 days. Then I was pretty much back to normal, maybe running 85%. I was 100% about 2 or 3 weeks nothing hurt anymore and I could move freely.

It gets a little better each day!! I was banded 1/6/2011 and my swollen just started to go down , I have no pain only sometimes in my port area.

I had surgery on the 14th, was still sore and only able to sleep on my back until the 24th, then I was able to sleep on my side, and around the 27th (yesterday) my stomach. No pain now, two weeks out.

Yes, you will feel better in a few days, much better in a week. I had a bunch of pain where the port is for about a month, it wasnt' until six weeks post op that I really felt normal. I thought I would have that pain forever but finally its gone.

Take it easy. Rest and take your pain meds.

Good luck!
