Courtnin 86 Posted November 17, 2012 Had my surgery today, and I am feeling great. It was a little rough for the first out of recovery, but I've been so fortunate to have no gas and very little nausea. I'm feeling so positive and excited about this journey and have no second thoughts on my desicion. 4 Susan1971, vmarlau, suzannetx and 1 other reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Summerrain 520 Posted November 17, 2012 Welcome to the otherside. I was the same and didn't have a lot of pain or gas, it was just a bit hard to get in and out of bed for about three days but then I have a really high pain threshold. Best wishes on your new journey. 1 Courtnin reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Courtnin 86 Posted November 17, 2012 I completely anticipated it to be way worse then it was, but I'm also a big baby and usually have a low pain tolerance. I'm still feeling pretty good today, except I tend to do weird things in my sleep and ended up rolling onto my tummy in the night oooouchies! Thanks for the well wishes, feels so great to begin this journey and start to heal Congrats to you aswell amclapp, hope your feeling well! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Healthy50 1 Posted November 17, 2012 I was banded on November 12. I feel the same way. I haven't had hardly any pain and very little gas. I was also anticipating alot more pain and gas. I keep expecting the pain to come any time now. I did a few errands yesterday and drove today. I am exhausted but not in pain. 1 bcuzicanb reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ritaroo1972 10 Posted November 18, 2012 I had my surgery yesterday. Surgery went great, no problems at all. Today has been terrible. So sick to my stomach. I have waves of nausea and feel like I am going to throw up. Scared to death to throw up. My left shoulder, side and chest hurt from the gas. And nothing seems to help. I had a hysterectomy in September and that was nothing. I debt think I was expecting this much pain. But I will survive!! 1 jaereynoso reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Did they give you a patch behind you're ear or a script for anti nausea meds? I left the hospital with the patch and a script! Maybe call your doc to let them know about the nausea, maybe they can give you something to help! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

No patch, but I have the Phenergan gel to rub on my wrists. It helps but it doesn't seem like for very long...how are you?? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
vanessa1215 35 Posted November 18, 2012 I am really well now! The first 4 days were rough but I made it lol some of the nausea for me was borderline dehydration. Once I found that warm liquids helped (I used warm tea with Splenda) on day 4, I felt like a new person because I wasn't dehydrated anymore! It does get easier, hang in there 1 ritaroo1972 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
