Hello, I was just banded on September 1. 1st day, feeling like i have done 1000 sit ups and having a lot of gas pains. I need to walk, but just really want to sleep. Let me hear your thoughts people!

Hi I was banded yesterday myself. I'm feeling just like you, don't want to do anything but lay around and sleep myself. Don't know if stomach is gas pains or just plain ole pain from having my surgery. My doctor told me I would feel like this for a few days and told me to get some rest. I try to walk a little around the house. I'm sure things will get better for us. My stomach feels like it weighs a ton right now.

Hi everyone,

I was banded on Sept. 1st too! I'm feeling a litle sore and am having some gas pains, but haven't taken the pains meds so it's not too bad! I haven't been drinking as much as I can because of the gas so I'm hungry! I was surprised to feel hunger. Anyone else feeling this?

So, this is day 2 post op. Felling better today. Gas pains still there. I had a really good sleep last night. I think that helped a lot. It was nice to be back in my own bed. I was a little hungry last night and had some Tomato Soup. Working on a Protein Shake this morning and not really feeling hungry at all. Anyone else feeling scared to eat? I don't want to over do it and get nauseated. Took a shower this morning. ahhhh. The only pain I am having is in the port area and going from a sitting to standing position and vice/versa. Thanks for all your thoughts everyone!
