Just Got Banded-Still Hospitalized

[RhondaMarie 67]

I was banded Wednesday & doc wanted me to stay since it was later in the afternoon. No additional tests just routine vitals. Just one dose of Tylenol in hospital & one dose at home.

The gas was bad, but it is relieving.

I can't get a deep breath in, but I have exercises to do.

I am walking & resting... but I am kinda bored already. LOL

Do you guys have problem sitting down and getting up? Ir hurts quite but to get up. Also I can feel gas circulating in my stomach and making noises.

I still have some trouble getting up more than anything. I kinda walk hunched over for a minute til I get it moving.

Yep same here and the stomach feels tight.

I got my best sleep propped up on the love seat. For me that's an old asthma trick. Then I just had to swing my legs around. Then I had a good base with my legs and the arm of the love seat.

The bed is definitely a lot harder.

I couldn't lay down when I got home yesterday, so I slept sitting up on the couch recliner. But last night I true to lay down on my right side (port is on the left) and was able to sleep, but needed help to get up. That hurts more than anything.

I can't sit on my couch I keep sinking in and can't get up. So I sit in a hard dining room table chair, or I sleep in my bed with pillows propped all around me

I got banded today as well.... I was expecting to be in tremendous pain, but i honestly can say I in little to know pain at all besides shoulder pain because of the Gas... My doctor was Dr. Choi in Fort lauderdale florida. I hope you pain goes away. Best of luck to my new banded forum friends!!!!

Thank you for asking. I was also going to ask about the hernias because a few ppl had them repaired. Is this something that they found during the procedure for those of you that had the repair?

Most people have a hyatial hernia, happens from being overweight no extra problems/pain or time in the hosp, they fix it when they band u
