1 week banded



Recommended Posts

Hello, I was banded 02/10/2011 i'm down 23 lbs (including 15 pre op) I have a question about soreness.....

I fell really sore by my belly button and if you feel my stomach it's quite hard and you can feel a large "knot" i guess?

My questions is if it's normal to still be sore a week out or if it's normal since i'm healing?

It is very normal ! Its going to be sore for a little bit and swollen! You will start feeling fully normal in probably another week or so! But no worrys unless its just so unbearable you can't take it! Good luck with your lapband and congrats on the weight loss!

I found out today it's my port lol I thought it was on my side guess not!

Congrats on the band I was banded on Wed 2/16 and feeling pretty darn good, I've walked everyday except when the rain got in the way. Of course I'm sore but bearable. I actually have taken the pain meds at night it's helped me sleep great. I'm hoping the soreness goes away soon I've got an important golf tourney coming up in a short time.... I played catch with my son today I was sore throwing but i was very very careful.....

I was banded on 2-14 and I'm really sore and gassy! I can't wait for this gas to go away : ) Good luck all

I got banded 2/14 also and have no more gas but random discomfort. The only thing I'm taking now is my multi Vitamin. I'm very tight in my stomach when I first wake up and it takes me a while to get out of bed physically. Other than that I'm pretty good.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
