Newly-banded yesterday yesterday

Lennyboy · August 10, 2007

Hello everyone. I was banded yesterday and am having some pain today - in the belly, upper back and shoulder tips. Perhaps I am still inflated? Went for a short slow walk today. I think I might go take a hit of pain-killers and come back and have a look around. I have been visiting before.

Cheers

Lennyboy

Congratz on your new lap-band Lennyboy! It sounds like you're doing well, up and walking and all. I hope the walking and meds help your pain. Did you go home the same day after your sugery, or did you just get home today? It's good to hear when people up and moving the next day!

Take care, and let us know how you are doing!

Welcome Lenny!!!! The gas pain may take a few days to go away. It did for me, but it was not too bad. I am 14 days out from surgery and feel great. Wish you the best of luck. Donna

Hi Lenny! Keep walking walking walking to work that gas out and some people find relief using a heating pad on their shoulders/back.

Wishing you a speedy recovery!
