I know for me it took a few days. I know its kinda hard to get up and walk around but it really makes things much easier. I am now 10 days post op and feel pretty much human again. Good luck, and in a week you will feel way better.

LOL and sorry the title of the thread was just rjetorixalmjoke explaining my

Amazment to the level of pain

yeah my pain was way more than I thought it would be. I am guessing it was the gas. I know when I had to lay on the table for the x-ray I could not lay back on my own because of the amount of pain I was in. I like yourself did not expect it. I was getting morphine every two hours ( I spent the night in the hospital) and I don't think it really made a difference. I remember thinking I don't know how people go home the same day after this surgery...

I hope you feel better soon.

[Guest BikiniBeachy]

Im sorry for your pain. I was banded 9/29/2008 I had terrible gas know what you are going through. It does get better. I thing the gas was the worst part. Walk Walk ----- also no straws they make even more gas. My dr. didnt tell be that so the first two days after the hospital I drank with a straw. Hope you feel better.

I was just banded on 10/10/08 too. I am laying here in bed with the same pain. A friend suggested i use a vibrator on my back between my shoulder blades. I have been doing it all morning and burping out all the gas. It is now noon and I am feeling a little relief.

I think it took about four or five days to get rid of all the gas.

Anyone have the gas make their back hurt? I can't seem to get rid of the pain in my back - in the lower shoulder blade area. It's driving me nuts, and I'm wondering if it's gas-related?

Whatever it is, it hurts!
