Hi Bubz! Welcome to LBT, we are glad you found us and decided to join.

Three days post-op, how are you feeling thus far?

Welcome bubz!

You'll have some downtime right now to browse the forums, good time to look at what to expect with fills and plateaus, etc.

Hey there,

thanks for the welcome!

i think im feeling ok lol. still a bit tender but its getting better. i can walk around with a lot more ease now and im not hunched over lol.

i keep getting this odd feeling tho that im going to throw up but i dont. it doesnt burn or anything but i can feel it up thru my chest n throat but then it stops! hmm anyone else have this?

What you are feeling is pretty normal. Many banders are surprised to learn how high up on the anatomy the band is - so you do feel it in your chest.

Congratulations on your surgery. I am thrilled with my band. Best thing I have ever done for myself.
