Will be checking out this forum to get inspiration and advice - good luck to everyone who had their surgery today! Would be lovely to share this journey :-)

I was banded on Tuesday. Walk around a lot to release the gas! Follow what your dr says to eat

I am doing great. Still a bit sore, The first 2 days especially that day one was a rough one for me I couldnt drink or get much of anything down. I just didnt want anything. I am now doing good with that. Be sure to follow what the dr says and take it easy the first few days.

Welcome to bandland!! Walk as much as you can to try to ease any gas pains! I am almost three months out and I could not be happier! Good luck!

The day after the surgery is the worst day. I'm on day two and I can't do much of anything I'm so sore all I want to do is lay around

It's great that I know there are people who are going through the same - first night was ok just lay like a rigid corpse in bed not moving :-) see you all later x

I was banded on 12 of April. It was rough the first two days, but my doctor told me to walk as much as I can and not to over do it. I was back to work the following Monday.... which the first week I was drained. Some of you are lucky to get pain meds. They don't believe in pain meds here. I had to be one tough cookie. Good luck!

How did going back to work feel? Did you tell your colleagues? How are you doing now?
