Ask4me1 0 Posted July 28, 2011 It went quite well and the pain afterwards was nothing, compared to what I expecting. Just a lil sore in middle of chest. I have very low pain tolerance. The pain feels like a soreness from working out hard the next day after not working out in months... Not asthmatic but did have to take albuterol treatments to stop coughing in recovery. That was my only hiccup in surgery so I stayed a lil longer in recovery than most, plus I had a nurse that cared for me like I was her child. I was greatful for that. Drinking Water with no problems, had chicken broth, and plenty of sugar free popsicles they are they best. Will eat Jello next. As far as scars all 5 of them are derma bonded, which doc says should heal good.(hope so)... They also corrected hiatal hernia, that I didn't know I had. Thats all I can think of for now... So I look forward going from 232 now to 190/185. All my weight is in the belly area so I CAN'T WAIT !!!!!!!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Itsbreezy2011 3 Posted July 29, 2011 I was banded on 06/27/11 as well. I am in a clear liquid, full liquid, then a mushy. I am feeling pretty good today just tired. Incisions are doing well and I'm thinking about going for a walk later. I went to the sore yesterday and that went well. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
