honie49 0 Posted March 1, 2009 I really feel so computer stupid but here goes.........Banded last Monday in Mexico. I had a esophagus bleed that complicated everything but today (Sunday) I can see the light at the end of the tunnel. I am still pretty sore on the incision sites but concerned about the uncomfortable feeling when I drink. I take very small drinks. I have to be on liguids for 4 more days and can't seem to get enough drank for the day. Is it normal to have that (I refer to it as a ice cube stuck) pain in or around breast bone area this long? I'm just like alot of other bandsters...I was wondering why I did this to myself. I also want to thank everyone for posting your feelings and helpful suggestions.........they are a God send. BTW.......I am 57 yrs old and it really takes a little longer to heal (if you know what I mean). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
