jen360 0 Posted January 29, 2013 Not to worry! Everyone different on how they deal with discomfort. I had Gbypass 18 years ago and THAT was pain! Had my band put on in July in Mexico, they have me tramodol which is their equivalent to Vicodin. I walked through the border line 2 days after. Some of us also like a little "extra" med so we can get some well deserved rest. The had pains went away the more you get up and move. Just toot toot toot along... Well worth it!
