My name is Catherine and I am in Australia, I was banded on the 15th may and I have not had shoulder tip pain but bad bad gas pain and I feel like I want to explode. Very excited for my new journey and after a rough 2 years I am looking forward to a new me. Not feeling hungry just very sore. My surgeon said I was easiest surgery he had done in a while.

kiwijo 2 Posted May 18, 2012 Hi Catherine Good for you. I'm feeling similar to you. Like my ribs are going to explode. But I'm hoping it'll pass. Good luck with your journey. Jo Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Gillybean 1 Posted May 18, 2012 Hi. I got banded MayY 10TH. I had a bit of nausea for the first week but now I am fine. Still a bit sore around the incision marks but nothing really bad. Funny thing, after looking at the photos I was given of the band inside after surgery, I was convinced that I had a huge thiing inside me. Duh.. blown up photos I had my post op yesterday and was down 20 lbs in the last 25 days... yeah.... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
