Finally Banded!!

Was banded yesterday afternoon. Lots of shoulder pain but they fixed my diaphragm which will increase the pain. About 2 months before it will go away. I'm up walking and ready to go home. Yesterday was rough but I do not Do well when I get put under do its what I expected.

Congrats! I was banded 1 week ago and my first day was very rough for me. Mostly nausea and gas pains in my chest, but I walked walked walked it out like they said and it passed quickly. The soreness at the sites doesn't really bother me unless I'm trying to bend. My biggest problem now is that I'm huuuunnngry!!!! Not all day. It's the nites that get me. My stomach is having a concert every evening by midnite. I can't wait for stage 2 eating!!

Congratulations, I think there are about 4 of us who were banded yesterday. I have had a pretty easy go of it. Staying ahead of my pain with meds, and apart from a wee bit of gas pressure in my chest (burping gets rid of) and your standard ache from your surgery area, I am doing great. Napping lots, slept well, trying to get up and about.

Take care of yourself and have a great day!

Wallflower I was banded too on the 11th. I have the same issues at night all the noises my stomach makes I swear it wakes me up at night.can't wait to be on some sort of food again

Goingfoit, the last couple days I've tried saving my last Protein Shake for an hour before I go to bed. I'm a second shifter so am used to having my "dinner" when I came home from work around midnite so I thought that might help me a bit. Last 2 nites it seemed to help a little. I also keep a drink next to my bed to sip on in case maybe it's just dehydration.

Anyway, I guess I thought the band around my stomach would make me not feel hungry??? Umm, huge reality check. Hopefully after our first fill it will be different....

Tonight I'm making a homemade lentil Soup that I'm going to blend hopefully that extra Protein will keep me fuller longer. I have my post op tomorrow morning so I'll ask some questions.
