pearlygirl 1 Posted April 24, 2008 Well, I'm pretty sore now. I've got some gas pain in my chest/left shoulder but it isn't terrible. My port site though is very sore. I had a hard time sleeping last night because of it. Anyway - I'm up and moving around as much as possible and it's certainly helping. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
angelface 1 Posted April 24, 2008 Good morning Pearlygirl. From what I'm hearing, the next few days will be hardest but than it gets better. Can you drink much or does it hurt? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
katie78 0 Posted April 24, 2008 I was banded too 4-23, and feeling like theres an elephant on my chest! Everytime I drink, or tried Jello, big mistake! I could feel it the whole way down, I can't take in a deep breath, I'm def. in the OMG what the hell did I do? I'm sure it gets better, but I'm miserable! I didn't think the gas would be this bad!

Cheryl Ann 2 Posted April 24, 2008 I was banded on the 7th. You'll be surprised at how good you'll be feeling in just a couple of weeks, and will soon forget all this. I also sometimes experience the same discomfort, but it's a way of letting me know that either the food isn't right, or I'm not chewing well enough. And I still get gas pains -- almost every night -- on my left side, under my rib cage (don't know why, but it's like clockwork). Pearlygirl, welcome to BandLand!

jed 0 Posted April 25, 2008 Great. This is my first time on website. I got banded on Tuesday and all is well. I pushed it a bit much this morning going to an assembly at my daughter's school. I return to work on Monday. :crying: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
