carley0303 4 Posted May 5, 2013 I was banded on March 19, it took until April 25 to actually start feeling completely normal around my incisions. I was able to lay on my stomach without the tenderness. But all of a sudden today for some reason I went to lay on my side and then when I turned over there the tenderness was again...ugh now all day it has been tender wtf? I go to my doctor this Monday but has anyone else had this problem? Will I ever feel normal? The doctor said I should be able to do anything that I was doing before...whether wrestling around, hard-core exercise etc....but it doesnt seem like I ever will be able to do anything like that. Frustrated! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
stept04 465 Posted May 5, 2013 I haven't been banded yet so I don't know what your going through. I think the best thing though is to talk with your Dr., Which I know you said you were, so that's good. I'm sorry your having this problem and I hope everything comes out OK. Good luck 2 ☠carolinagirl☠ and It'sTime reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mizz_Megan 40 Posted May 5, 2013 I was banded on April 24th so I'm not quite there yet but I am on a 6 week lifting restriction no more than 15 lbs. 6 weeks seems like forever to me but maybe that's how long they expect everything to heal completely. I'm sure you will get there it just might take more time. Call your dr. Just to be safe. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
