Great!! How are you feeling? Mentally you sound pumped. That's the way to handle it. I hope I am over this jittery feeling when it's my time in about 2 weeks. Good luck on your postop and beyond.

I'm actually feeling alot better than i expected. a little sore but pain meds and gas ex help a lot. i actually wasn't nervous at all until About2 hours before surgery. the doctor found huge hiatus hernia and had to fix also so he said i would be more sore than others. can't wait to lose weight and be healthy so ill have energy to play with my son

pain meds, gas ex, and walking around if you are able is what has helped me... just remember all this pain is going to be worth it

How are all the recently banded feeling?

I'm two days post-op and feeling ok. Sore and tight where my port is and hungry, but can only drink a little before I feel uncomfortable. Shoulder pain is easing today but I'm feeling like I need to burp and toot all the time!

I had banding today and I was pretty miserable until they adjusted my pain medication, then it as been tolerable. I am more comfortable sitting up than lying down. I'm not having any incisional pain but my stomach itself has a deep dull ache. I should get to leave the hospital tomorrow which would be nice but glad I was in tonight. I am not having any gas issues except for a small amount in between my shoulder blades which is to be expected especailly since they inflated my abdomen. I am not hungry yet but I think that is due to the pain medication aswell. Hope everyone else who has surgery thus far is doing well. I just keep reminding myself that it is all for the best.

Dont be afraid to ask for more pain medication if you need it. Everyone heals at their own rate and if you are hurting all the time you are less likely to be active which could lead to blood clots or pneumonia.

I am now two days out and still feel more comfortable sitting rather than lying down. I had terrible shoulder pain yesterday but today it's more in my abdomen. I started to feel hungry after about 36 hours. But after I have something to eat I feel very uncomfortable, and my tummy makes terrible noises!

I'm still on pain meds which seem to be helping. I am having gas problems as well. I feel like I want to burp but can't!
