Was banded today incision site not bothering me at all not sore or anything, but I have the worst back pain. Any suggestions?

From what I have read here and elsewhere it is gas pain on some nerve and every one says to walk because it helps the gas leave your body easing pressure on that nerve making you feel better. Most everyone says it is shoulder pain though I imagine back could be too. Not a doctor so I would maybe put in a call if it doesn't get better.

Day 3 post op here. Ater 2 days of hell, I feel very good today, but I'm still up 2 lbs and my fasting blood sugar is still high (191). Is this normal for diabetics? I have broth and a small amount of diluted juicce.

don't worry about the weight Loretta, it will come off..you're still swollen right now. as far as the blood sugar being high....that I would check with the doctor. You don't want to screw around with your sugars...

Blood sugar spike with any kind of trauma (surgery) it's only day 3..... You'll get better everyday.
