wheverson 0 Posted March 26, 2009 I was banded on Monday 3/23. I am feeling much better now that I am 3 days post op. All I can say is take your pain meds, don't skip, take them every 4 hours. I thought I would be okay just taking tylonol the day after surgery and did way too much on my first day post op. I am now just feeling better. Good luck to all of you getting banded this week Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
