Just got my band today

[iturn2dj 18]

And I'm surprisingly in almost no pain? I can walk, have a little gas pain in my shoulder but that went away with moving around. Did anyone else experience this? I'm hoping the pain doesn't come big time tomorrow!

So happy for you!

Wow, keep us posted especially if the pain does hit tommorrow, I am a week away and every detail would help me. Congratulations!

That's great! I hope mine goes that easily!

I had very little pain and discomfort too. Great, aint it?

Congrats! I got mine today too, also little pain, although I have discomfort in my shoulders as well as my belly when I go from sitting to standing. I'm sure the Percocet has a lot to do with it (I have a sensitivity to Vicodin so they gave me something stronger). I am super tired right now. Good on you for walking - that is really key to feeling better sooner. I took one short wall this afternoon and will go for another this evening.

I hope to be proven wrong and I am pre op but have had my fair share of surgeries and usually it takes a couple days for the pain to come due to the anesthesia still being in your system for a coupe days.

Like I said I hope I am proven wrong and you have no more discomfort than what you are feeling now!

Congrats to everyone that was banded today!

Surgery today went well still experiencing neck and bilateral shoulder pain since surgery. But its getting better with massage and heat also walking as much as I can. Not really hungry just super thirsty!

I actually did have to go get my daughter. Granted, we live less than a mile from her school, but I wasn't sure I was up to walking two miles. I might try to tomorrow. I stopped taking pain medicine at 7 this morning but took a little tonight.
