Banded April 26, 2012



Recommended Posts

I'm glad I did it, but I had no idea of the pain I would be in. I'm wondering how long this normally lasts? Can I use a heating pad on my tummy?

Thanks,

Karie

Hi Karie! I was banded on Monday...and feel much better today...days 2 and 3 were the worst for me, but day 4 was better and today even better! I think that you should be ok with a heating pad....just keep it on low....and hang in there!

Ice is best for your tummy. You will start feeling better in a couple of days. Hang in there.
