mrzlbc 5 Posted October 26, 2016 Hello! I had my surgery 7 days ago. I had really bad nausea for 3 days hardly any pain because I was on morphine but after 3 days I was cool felt better just drinking lots of clear fluids. You will do good. Good luck!

Sai 785 Posted October 26, 2016 I had the lap band in 2009, things may have changed since then but... I just remember having bad gas pains, and so I lived on Gas-X strips for a week. I didn't experience too much nausea as others did. You just feel "sore" like you've worked out too hard. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
drawls6u 3 Posted October 26, 2016 I was banded two weeks ago. Surgery went great. I just had really bad gas afterwards. That's about it. Wounds are healing really well and I feel better than ever now. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ZVerdejo 2 Posted October 27, 2016 I got banded two days ago, the only pain I had was gas, but it went away literally like two hours later. Your abs hurt like you've had an intense work out, but besides that the healing is quick. 3 days later and I'm already up and at em.

Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G900A using the BariatricPal App Thank you. I was banded this morning and on the car ride home I got sick and threw up some I'm worried that I caused it to slip already ughhh. And I don't have much chest and shoulder pain my pain is in my upper back and right under my breast at the very top of the stomach.
