2012 359 Posted October 13, 2012 Great job, just make sure get up and walk around a lot, it helps with the gas (and pains if you get them from the gas, my neck and left shoulder hurt when I got surgery). But it gets better! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

mamamia89 22 Posted October 13, 2012 Thanks everyone!!!! I've been getting up as much as possible but if I'm up for too long I feel a little sick. Doctor said this is normal for the first day or so, so I hope it goes away quickly. Other than that no complaints! Hopefully my pain stats like this and does not get worse but only time will tell!! 1 DesertRose80 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

tcousin 2 Posted October 14, 2012 I got banded on the 10th...i had a small hernia repair and was released the next day. I messed up and ate a piece of turkey bacon but im moving foward. Wish me luck! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SueBee01 630 Posted October 14, 2012 Congrats to all of you! Follow your post op diet the best u can because now your body needs to heal. Rest, walk in small amounts as often as u can, sip, sip, sip as much as u can all day. You may feel bloated for a couple weeks and a little more sore if u had hernia repair. Don't worry about losing weight now. You are healing, but it will come off! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
