had my band done yesterday

Congratulations on being banded.. But why are you taking pills? You should have received liquid pain meds and if not prescription then liquid tylenol. It's very important to not put solids in right now as they can get stuck or add to your swelling and slow your healing process.

The bleeding is worrisome, were you sleeping on your stomach? Did you look at your incisions? Did you bust some stitches? Glad you're not in pain...here's to a rapid recovery!

I ditto Yvette's response!! Congrats! and you should be on liquid pain meds and the bleeding does worry me...

Take really good care of your self! I wish you the very very best! You will be great!!

My doctors told me to walk an 15 mins an hour if i wasnt sleeping to get the gas from the surgery out.. if you feel in pain in your shoulders or neck the gas is moving walking takes it all away.. Congrats again on your surgery..

God Bless you as your body heals and your spirits improve after the surgery! You will begin to adjust and grow use to the idea you are now banded! When the weight starts to come off, you will be so happy that this was your choice, I am one year out and down 91 lbs. It really changes your life for the better.

Congrats on your surgery and welcome to the "Banded World"!!!!

I crushed up the pills in my jello because I know i can't be doing that. My doc told me to take my bandages off late this evening. Thanks

Thanks alot , and you are my inspiration! I feel I made the right choice.

You are now a Bandster-Sister! Welcome to our club. We are glad to have you.

Don't worry about the pain meds because by tomorrow, you will probably not need them. I wonder why the doctor didn't give you liquid - odd. Did you have stitches - is that what was bleeding? My doctor used some kind of glue, so I never bled. If you are watching TV, everytime a commercial comes on, get up and walk. Drink plenty of liquids and get as much rest as you can. Walking is the best thing you can do for yourself.

Let us know how you are doing.
