LittleBand-it 9 Posted January 30, 2015 I'm banded!!!! Made it through surgery like a champ- just lots is soreness. Somehow have no gas pains-thank goodness! Darn that belly button incision gets to me when getting up I think from my belly weight :/ Any suggestions on ways to get up from bed? Thanks!!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bandista 7,466 Posted January 30, 2015 Yippee! For me the walking really, really helped -- I compared the discomfort to something I really hate: dentistry. To this day I'd rather have LB surgery than a crown, lol. And now I'm 70+ pounds thinner -- talk about worth it! (One crown, one cavity, one LapBand, zero gallbladder, and, oh, a hernia repair).

JustWatchMe 7,117 Posted January 30, 2015 Congrats ! I held a pillow against my stomach and laid on my side and kind of rolled off the bed until it felt better. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LittleBand-it 9 Posted January 31, 2015 Thanks for the advice! It's been 3 days..still gave soreness but nothing remotely close to the day after. I still need help doing things and getting in and out of bed is a chore to say the least! Now I just feel like I'm starving 24/7, horrible headache, am over the broth and jello! Moist and mushy can't come soon enough-Uggghhhhh Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
