I Am Banded And Home!

[prinxs 41]

I am so glad to be home. Got home around 1 pm. The hospital is a 5 star place and everyone was great. I have no gas but woke up with lot of pain. Walking around as much as I can, sleeping as much as I can, and sipping on Water.

How long does the abdomen pain last?

Where is everyone?

I just got banded on 9/18- the abdomen pain was just for a few days. However, in my case the gas pains were the worse for me than the incisions. Did they give you a belt to wear around your tummy? It really helped me keep my tummy all together . I went to the doctor today for my follow up and he is allowing me mushy foods. I was so grateful cause I am sick of Soups. Best of luck to you in your recovery process.

Thank you. That makes me feel bit better about the pain. When I woke up I started second guessing myself as to what the hell did I do??

They didn't give me any belt. Doesn't that hurt?

The belt was awesome! It covered me from under my tatas to past my belly. It helped me a lot because when I would get up and walk it felt like all my organs were falling forward. But, the belt help keep everything in place. I don't know what I would have done without it. It helped alleviate pressure.

Wow I couldn't have users that! Atleast it would have below lifting my tatas. I have these tight socks on my leg to keep the blood flowing properly.

Congrats and welcome to the other side. I really didn't have strong pain, but then I have a very high pain threshold. I remember being in pain when getting in and out of bed and trying to get comfy once in bed was hard. I did use pillows to keep me propped up. By the third night I was sleeping on my side with a pillow under my tummy for support which helped a lot, by the end of the week I was sleeping on my tummy again. You're doing the right things by walking as much as you can and rest, don't overdo things and you'll be fine. Rest, walk and sip!

I was banded on 9/24. I have to laugh because I was dreaming of sucking up an ice cream Sunday that was melted. I know solid food will bone again. I am not hungry but having weird dreams.

I had severe abdominal pain

Felt like hot knives in my side

Subsided after 4 days

Now it's gas

I had a hard time but now... One week later it's much better

Hang in there

I was dreaming of eating watermelon !!!

I cannot tell if I am feeling nausea or just the abscence of food. I always keep a funny taste in my mouth.

Thank you guys for the words of encouragement. I was able to sleep and lay down on the couch, and needed help to get out of thee couch. It hurts to get up... The stomach or the incision area feels tight or it could be bc i haven't moved around for a while.

Have up guys felt that?
